Noah's Song

This is a song I wrote for my nephew, Noah, who passed away from complications of brain cancer on May 18, 2012.  I will always love you, and you will always be my hero, sweet boy.

The Bravest Boy That Ever Lived (Noah's Song)

We are never promised tomorrow.

You always lived for today.

Running through the valley

With a smile on your face

Arms open wide

Waiting to embrace

Whatever life God gave you,

And you did it with grace.

I can only hope that one day

I can be that brave.

When I feel like giving up,

When I feel like giving in,

And it seems like the battle I cannot win,

When I think I’m losing strength,

I give it all that I can give,

Because I remember who I am

To the bravest boy that ever lived.

I always worry for what’s to come.

You took one day at a time.

Fighting this battle

While having the time of your life.

Ready for anything,

You kept running the race.

You pushed fear aside,

And laughed in the enemy’s face.

When I feel like giving up,

When I feel like giving in,

And it seems like the battle I cannot win,

When I think I’m losing strength,

I give it all that I can give,

Because I remember who I am

To the bravest boy that ever lived.

And you gave everything you had

With every ounce of strength you had left,

Loving, and hoping, and fighting,

Until your last breath.

So when I feel like giving up,

And when I feel like giving in,

And it seems like the battle I cannot win,

When I think I’m losing strength,

I give it all that I can give,

Because I remember who I am

To the bravest boy that ever lived.

Because you never gave up.

You never gave in.

You never lost the battle.

Victory was yours in the end.

You never lost your strength.

You gave it all that you could give,

Because you knew who you were

To the bravest Man that ever lived.
