Father\u2019s Day
Chino XL

Question, why're we on the fourth floor?

I asked her mother, but we both or weren't sure yet

This is where the doctor said that we should go

Holding my child, she's 10 months old

The hospital was so cold

Definitely ruining all of our holiday plans of beach sands

Filling out some bland paperwork with shaky hands (lost)

Seeing little children stricken with a certain sickness

Clutch my baby a little tighter reflect of nervous feelings

A whole hour passed, we starting to lose patience

Humbled by the thoughts of patients lost in this situation (what's going on?)

Here comes a nurse, not knowing that we should fear the worst

Seen the doctor's mouth moving, couldn't even hear the words

This isn't happening to you,

I'm like Superman

And I could protect you from anything, I was really scared (serious)

I realized what I heard but not prepared for

The sentence that the doctor said, Your daughter has cancer

I will take my life right now

If you would save my child

I'd change my life for her

This is my solemn vow

No more chemo in her veins

And no more screams of pain (I pray)

This is a father's shame

That I can't save you from everything

It hit me so hard, that I could barely stand up (my world stopped)

Then the flowers and balloons and the cards came

Prayers many hours, knees bruised all in God's name (hurt so much)

If only my feeble hands could remove this neuroblastoma tumor from your adrenal glands (helpless)

Why you?! Why now? It didn't feel fair

Your grandma shed tears, you lost your hair

It's unbelievable little Bella was that strong

And inconceivable we lived in the hospital that long (forever)

Protecting your immune system from contaminants

You had to wear a medical mask, can't give my kid a kiss (imagine)

I learned to envision your face growing getting older

Envisioned you driving your first car and getting your diploma

Envisioned your wedding, your husband better be a soldier

A little girl sick like you died two row's over (Eva)

I will take my life right now

If you would save my child

I'd change my life for her

This is my solemn vow

No more chemo in her veins

And no more screams of pain (I pray)

This is a father's shame

That I can't save you from everything

Chemotherapy made Christmas hard to process

I fed the family faith, hoping it would make their fears starve to death

Your momma's tough, prayed to Saint Jude's that its a bad dream

But could it be I'm speaking to a doctor and not Epstein (reality)

I remember the cries, remember the meals fed through tubes

Pulling the red wagon, the sound of the plastic wheels

Kind of a metaphor for pulling through this ordeal

I pray my enemies never even have to know how this feels (hurts)

But forget our feelings it doesn't matter, you're the one suffering

You couldn't speak a lot yet but its like your eyes was saying

Daddy, if it's an obstacle, and price I got to pay

For a long, great life, then we'll make it through okay.

The day of your final surgery, I still live in that moment

The teddy bear you were holding, I still own it

I watched the doors closing, February 2, 2004...

My little girl is cured

I will take my life right now

If you would save my child

I'd change my life for her

This is my solemn vow

No more chemo in her veins

And no more screams of pain (I pray)

This is a father's shame

That I can't save you from everything
