Story Behind The Song

What it does to a person when illness strikes...

Lyrics

Life


Cruel Illness, I defy you,
I'll not give in, I will stay true
to my own self and to my pride;
it's my mind and I'll decide
when it's time for my defeat
though in the end I know you'll cheat.

Chorus:
I'm wounded by a mortal dart,
not in mind - nor in my heart.
Symptoms cannot always seem to hide
but I am still myself inside,
full of love and happiness;
though I am ill - I am not less.....I am not less!


Heartless nature struck the blow,
I am off balance and I am slow
but not of speech and I - I defy
the thought of weakness and I deny
that it stole my self and soul,
it's my movement that pays .... a toll
