Lyrics
Jimmy was a boy full of hopes and dreams,
found out he had cancer at 17,
so he all of those hopes and he lost all faith,
and he resigned himself to deadly fate,
of all troubles he had ever faced,
this one was just to great,
he lay in bed and cried throughout the nights,
had thoughts if suicide,
so i said,
fight it don't die now,
you can make it through, you can make it through,
fight it come rise now,
use all you have to make it through,
and fight it don't die now,
you can make it through, you can make it through,
fight it don't die now,
use all you have to make it through and win,
yeah,
chemo was tough he had it once a week,
his hair fell out he had to buy a wig,
and every night and day he thought of his dreams,
and the life ahead of him he would never get to see,
and freinds came by to comfort him,
but he wished them all away,
as he dwelled upon the fact,
that he didn't have the words or courage to say,
so i say,
fight it don't die now,
you can make it through, you can make it through,
fight it come rise now,
use all you have to make it through,
and fight it don't die now,
you can make it through, you can make it through,
fight it don't die now,
use all you have to make it through and win,
yeah,
and one day in the hospital jimmy met a girl just like him,
she had lost all hope,resigned to die, had thoughts of suicide,
but he saw something in her that no one else saw,
and he saw himself like in a mirror,
and he realizied he could't let her die,
and that it was time to face his fears,
cause if he were talk to her again,
they would both have to be here alive,
at least if he tried he would have a chance,
and now he had a reason to fight,
and now he had a reason to fight (times 4)
fight it don't die now,
you can make it through, you can make it through,
fight it come rise now,
use all you have to make it through,
and fight it don't die now,
you can make it through, you can make it through,
fight it don't die now,
use all you have to make it through and win,
yeah, and they did.....
