The Good Book tells me I'm supposed to love And I do my best but sometimes my best just ain't good enough I just might need forgiveness for my candor But I hate cancer I guess the thing that I despise the most Is once it gets a hold it seems it never lets you go Until it robs you of your happy ever after I hate cancer When I lay me down to sleep at night I pray For those who have this lot in life they have to face Give them all the strength they'll need To fight the battle fearlessly God help somebody somewhere to find the answer I hate cancer It makes no difference who or where you are It comes into your life and leaves a scar And it does so in a devastating manner I hate cancer It don't care if you're an awesome mom or dad Or the best son or daughter that a parent ever had It can take your best friend like it just don't matter I hate cancer When I lay me down to sleep at night I pray For those who have this lot in life they have to face Give them all the strength they'll need To fight the battle fearlessly God help somebody somewhere to find the answer Cause I hate cancer Give them all the strength they'll need To fight the battle fearlessly God help somebody somewhere to find the answer Cause I hate cancer
