anonymous Apr 7th 2009 !⃝this song struck my heart when i first listened to it because about 2 months ago, right before my 23 year old cousin died, he spent that day almost in a coma-like state except he was concious. he could hear us but he couldnt communicate with us--he was too weak.
not long after he died, i heard this song and i broke down into tears when i listened to the lyrics:
"Light up, light up
As if you have a choice
Even if you cannot hear my voice
I'll be right beside you dear"
this, to me, describes how my family struggled to maintain hope during that time. really the only thing we could do was try to keep our sprits up "as if we had a choice"...we never left his side although he couldnt communicate with us any longer, we wanted to be sure he knew we were with him.
Louder, louder
And we'll run for our lives
I can hardly speak I understand
Why you can't raise your voice to say
To think I might not see those eyes
Makes it so hard not to cry
And as we say our long goodbye
I nearly do
no song besides this describes my feelings that day as i watched my dear young cousin dying.
