Forward

*1st verse*
Just found out I have cancer today.
Told it's not a scary one but damned if I'm not afraid
Life's too short, isn't that what they say?
Well now I know for sure, and I'm finding out the hard way.

Yeah

Biopsy was the worst, so far anyway
Didn't quite freeze enough, so I felt all the pain
Felt the jab and the slice, felt the skin pull away.
Like a burn and freeze and shock on my face.

But anyway

I'm not gonna live that way I'm not gonna live that way
No way
No way

Made a promise to myself today
Made a promise to myself today

*Chorus*
I'm gonna give my all to the ones I love
Gunna cast my eyes to the skies above
So my chest stays out and my chin always stays up.

Gunna toe my line cuz it's mine to hold
Gonna show these kids what it means to be bold
Keep telling you all and myself every single day.
Always forward
Forward always

*2nd verse*
Cracking on, nose down, grindstone, everything's gonna be fine
Buckle down, focus up, work on, put that noise from your tired mind
But it's hard to keep it out when every quiet moment's there to remind
Remind you there's a killer in your body and it may have already spread inside.

I'm not gonna think that way I'm not gonna think that way
No way
No way

Made a promise to myself today
Made a promise to myself today

*Chorus*
I'm gonna give my all to the ones I love
Gunna cast my eyes to the skies above
So my chest stays out and my chin always stays up.

Gunna toe my line cuz it's mine to hold
Gonna show these kids what it means to be bold
Keep telling you all and myself every single day.
Always forward
Forward always

*Bridge*
So when the pain's too much and you just wanna run away
When the path's too dark and you can't seem to find your way
There's a spark inside you it will light your way
So grab hold of that light hold it close and say

I'm not gonna be that way I'm not gonna be that way
No way
No way

Make a promise to yourself today
Make a promise to yourself today

Go and give your all to the one's you love
Always keep your eyes to skies above
Keep your chest pushed out baby
Keep that damn chin up

Laugh cause it's easy
Forgive cause it's hard
Never ever be afraid of the person you are
Keep telling yourself that by right, by fight or by faith
That you'll move forward
Forward always

*outro*
I'm not gonna live that way I'm not gonna live that way
No way
No way

I'm not gonna think that way I'm not gonna think that way
No way
No way

Made a promise to myself today
Made a promise to myself today
Oh ya
Oh ya
