The Threat

Although it's far from over
I can see the end in sight
The mountain of pills at my bedside
Are symbols of how hard I fight

The threat has subsided
But will never leave

The value of life is knowing
Exactly how fleeting it can be
In ways I only read about in stories
Suddenly that same burden was upon me

The threat has subsided
But will never leave
The threat has subsided
But may never leave

My health is gone, my hair is too
My wealth is gone, it's just me and you
But I am happier than I have ever been in life
Because I am here, able to live with you

The threat has subsided
But will never leave
The threat has subsided
But may never leave
The threat has subsided
Could it ever leave?

Now I wake up every day with my mission in mind
Committing to live each moment like it's my last
So if the threat comes back around again to find me
I'll be happy to head out... or fight again
