I'm begging forgiveness when walking my fingers Up hospital walls feeling scared Scars on my body remind me that time's only borrowed And death doesn't care Sisters and brothers came back to each other Stayed with me so I could repair Lambs to the slaughter, my sons and my daughters I pray, I can save you the tears The thunder, the lightning, the hurricane rising And I'm paralyzed at the core Life flashing by me, I don't have the right to be asking But I still need more One more year, can I stay right here? I don't wanna just disappear Give me one more year A final walk, one more cheer One more year, can I stay right here? I laid in my bed with the tubes in my chest But it wasn't the end that I feared The walls closing in, counting all of my sins All the desperate moments we shared Hanging by a thread I can't let go yet, singing "Ave Maria" I got more to give, so I'm not giving in And I pray I can save them the tears The thunder, the lightning, the hurricane rising And I'm paralyzed at the core Life flashing by me, I don't have the right to be asking But I still need more One more year, can I stay right here? I don't wanna just disappear Give me one more year A final walk, one more cheer One more year, can I stay right here? The thunder, the lightning, the hurricane rising And I'm paralyzed at the core Life flashing by me, I don't have the right to be asking But I still need more One more year, can I stay right here? I don't wanna just disappear Give me one more year A final walk, one more cheer One more year, can I stay right here?
