I'm only ten
Everything seems so big when you’re only ten
So scary, and so big when you’re only ten
You don’t understand everything when you’re only ten
It doesn’t make sense cause you’re only ten
They talk in hushed voices and quietly say “she doesn’t get it, she’s only ten”
But what they don’t know is I do know
That all this medicine and all the machines mean he could go
The tubes and needles don’t mean he’s getting better
But I’m only ten so maybe it is “only the bad weather”
I’m ten but I know its more
And daddy’s not just a little sore
The needles mean more
And the hair on the floor
And the hospital robe hung on the door
It all means more
We can’t go to the park today
Daddy’s got cancer they say
But he’s getting better every day
So don’t you go and worry away
So daddy’s not sick anymore, and I’m no longer ten
But it’s scary to think that the cancer could still come back and win
