The Call

Almost everyone I’ve known’s been afraid of the call
Then my phone rings and he tells me it’s all gonna change
So I listen to the doctor but I don’t hear anymore
As he tries to explain I am standing unable to move

The moment that he told me it felt like someone shot me
Frozen like a snowman in the cold
And when I put the phone down I felt my body trembling
thinkin’ is this really happening to me

Now the hardest thing to do
is to tell who you love the news
‘Cause you know that the words,
“I’ve got cancer” will scare them to tears
But my fragile wife who’s pregnant
carrying our second child
She was brave and courageous
and held me to ease all my fears

And there we were like children holding hands and cryin’
shipwrecked on an island desperately
Then my son came runnin’ laughin’ loud and jumpin’
right into my arms and asking me...

Daddy can we go outside to play
Take me to the playground it’s a sunny day
Son I wish I could but daddy’s not so well
Promise I will take you when daddy’s feeling better

Never been so helpless
Always been the leader
Now I don’t know who or where to turn
Sitting in my bedroom watching all the memories
play inside my head when my son came in and said

Daddy can we go outside to play
Take me to the merry-go-round it’s a sunny day
Son I wish I could but daddy’s not so well
Promise I will take you when daddy’s feeling better

Almost everyone I’ve know’s been afraid of the call
