Be Strong Live Long August 2011 - Jim Herrmann & Linda Erday

Intro
Verses
Some might grieve, for what it took away
I’m in a battle, many would say
The colon I lost and the toll it took
But I'm not one who goes by some old book

Chorus
Be Strong, live long
It's just a condition I'm managing
Be strong, live long
A body is constantly changing
Be strong, live long
And don't let disease rule your life.

intro

I want you to see the lessons I’ve learned
The path I walk, the pages I’ve turned
The loss does not out weigh the gain
In so many ways I welcome the change

Be Strong, live long
It's just a condition I'm managing
Be strong, live long
A body is constantly changing
Be strong, live long
And don't let loss rule your life

I’m more than the man in the bedside chair
In the blue backless gown, smiling there
A tangle of emotion, nerves and blood
Striving for peace, health, life and love

Bridge
Life is a challenge, that’s nothing new
Sometimes challenges bring forth your truth
But bridges crossed are not bridges burned
And part of the gain are these lessons we learn

Be Strong, live long
It's just a condition I'm managing
Be strong, live long
A body is constantly changing
Be strong, Live Long
And don't let fear rule your life
Be strong, Live Long
And don't let disease rule your life
Be strong, Live Long
And don't let cancer ruin your life
