When A Dream Dies

(Breaking news today, the lead singer, Jason David)
(Admitted to the hospital)
(Surgery has begun, stage four cancer)
(Cancer of the tongue, stage 4)
(Removing 80% of his toungue)
(We are in shock, his music career is over)
(He will never sing or speak again)
(This is the end of Jason David) when a dream dies
(If he even survives, what will he do next?)
(How do you come back from this?) is there an after life?
(Tonight, we have heartbreaking news)
(There are just no words) Is there an after glow?
(The cancer has spread throughout his body) Does someone holds a funeral?
When a dream dies, where does it go?
How do I get there?
To the land of lost hope
(Fifteen surgeries later, he has no voice and life will look so different)
(He's starting over, starting from nothing, he is blank canvas) How do I get there
How do I get there

My dream died, my dream died
I was wide eyeed and still alive when my dream died
And my ma cried
And my doc tried
And I noticed the diagnosis go toe to toe with my bride
And I'd be lying if I didn't tell you I was not fine
I'd be lying if I said I didn't tell you I quit trying
Cuz the truth is it was ruthless
And she knew this
She fought to get me through this
I told my wife, "For better or for worse,"
But it's been worse, it's been only worse
Stuck in a bed, not home with her
Stuck and they said go rent a hearse
And then told her forget the nurse
There's not much more we can do, it hurt
To watch her weep at the doctors words

But I was gonna grow old with her
And we were gonna try and change the world
And now I can't sing and I can't dream
And I cant be the me in those wedding photos
In the polo you know, the one she married
But I promise you I'm coming home
And I swear you won't end up alone

When a dream dies, don't fall asleep
Open up your eyes, dream a different dream (dream)
Oooh ohhh ohhh
How did I get here?
How did I get here?

"I'm here with Jason David. You lost 80% of your tongue to stage 4 cancer and almost died. In fact, you wanted to die. You wanted to give up and stop fighting cancer. Tell us what happened."
"It was 9:00 p.m. in the hospital on a very dark night. I was giving up, and my wife walked in; she just knew and she didn't know what to do. What did she do? She sang. "
"What did she sing?"
"She sang my favorite hymn"

Come thou fountain of every blessing
And tune my heart to
Sing thy grace

But she forgot the words, so she made up her own words
To this day, I remember those words
What words?
She sang, "You are good, God"
"You are good, God"
"You are good, God"
"You are good"
For three hours, she sang, with tears streaming down her face. Her voice quivered; her heart broke, but she sang
And as she sang, I felt the peace and presence of God enter that hospital room

You are good, God (Oh)
You are good, God (Yes, you are)
You are good, God (Oh, ya)
You are good
You are good, God
You are good, God
You are good, God (And I will sing, yes I will sing)
You are good
You are good, God
You are good, God
You are good, God
You are good
You are good, God
You are good, God
You are good, God
You are good
You are good, God
You are good, God
You are good, God
You are good

I hadn't slept in days, but as she sang
I drifted off to sleep in the peace and presence of God
She didn't give up; she didn't let me give up
They said I'd never speak or sing again, but then a new song is going viral
Have you heard this song?
He calls himself "I Am Untitled." (I Am Untitled)
Six million views in two weeks (Six million views in two weeks, it's breaking the internet)
These walls are almost gone
He was told he'd never sing again
He was told that he would die
Is this the same guy?
We are watching the impossible
Two years ago, he lost everything
Two years ago he lost everything
But now he's back with a new song and a new name, refusing to give up, pursuing a new dream
This is a miracle; he just won't quit
What will he do next?
Next (Next, Next)
I'm a blank canvas
