kind of an happy end, right? or the beginning of an happy end.
first I thought he's gonna die, then I thought the decay stopped but it's not getting better so he plans suicide('now I choose when I shall end')- now I just decided for myself he's mending('prayers answered in time') :wink:
Please don't shed your tears, son. I'll remain awake. I found this line very touching.

also liked your chorus very much and the last part. I like the way he changes from apathy and acceptance to a more fighting and more urgent position.

sometimes you need a happy ending. good work.

I've gone through so much.
This pain will never end.
Sometimes I wish this curse will make its ammends.
I can not clearly see.
Is this fate controlling me?
Loved ones praying for me, but I accept that I'm done.
I'm done.

I walk a real thin line
between ownership and fate.
I want this life to be mine. I don't want to break.
Eyes cry over me.
I want this disease to leave.
Please don't shed your tears, son. I'll remain awake.

I only have one life and I choose not to die.
I only have one fate, but that fate is mine to defy.

This is my war, my fight, my name to defend.
No more. Now I choose when I shall end.
This is all mine, my time, my day to die.
My life, my right, my fate to defy.

I won't go out this way.
I have to sieze this day.
I can feel my body stopping this decay.
I will make it home.
I won't be alone.
Pain has changed my life.
My life.

See me for who I am.
See me now as a man.
I have no more burden. I'm alive.
It was almost too much.
I almost gave up.
Now I know their prayers have been answered in time.

I only have one life and I choose not to die.
I only have one fate, but that fate is mine to defy.

This is my war, my fight, my name to defend.
No more. Now I choose when I shall end.
This is all mine, my time, my day to die.
My life, my right, my fate to defy.
My fate to defy.
My fate to defy.
I only have one fate, but that fate is mine to defy.]]> Sunday Songwriters Group pierson https://guitarnoise.forum/sunday-songwriters-group/week-5/#post-5769
