[Verse 1]
They said the word, and I went numb,
As cancer shook my ground,
I felt the walls around me fall,
Without a warning sound.

[Verse 2]
I stared at life and thought it lost,
But grace pulled me back on through,
I lived when I wasn’t sure I would,
And my purpose is clear and tru.

[Verse 3]
For you the world’s the same as then,
For me there’s much thats new,
I see this life through diff’rent eyes,
I ask you to share that view.

[Chorus]
You see the one I used to be,
Not the new I am today,
I hope you now will see this change,
And welcome this new way.

[Verse 4]
My priorities have changed,
I hope you’ll understand,
I need a little time to grow,
And together we will stand.

[Verse 5]
Though you care for me with all you do,
You can’t feel what I feel,
While you know what I’ve been through,
Its not you who needs to heal.

[Chorus]
You see the one I used to be,
But not my purpose for today,
I hope you now will see this change,
And welcome this new way.

[Verse 6]
I need you to understand,
Just sit with me tonight,
I don’t need answers, just your hand,
To help me feel alright.

[Bridge]
I hope as we continue on,
We’re open, strong, and kind,
To help those new to cancer,
And leave no one behind.

And this is my new normal now,
A truth I’ve come to claim,
I’m not the one I used to be,
But my heart remains unchanged.

[Outro]
My faith matters more than ever,
Helping others first is key,
Yes the changes may be subtle,
But they matter greatly to me.

Please come be by my side,
Help me see this through,
Cancer came and now it’s gone,
I want to walk this path with you.
