Song lyric excerpt:

I didn't hear the sirens that car-jacking day
I was so far gone I couldn't even pray
Blinding flash exploding sound told me to lay down and die

You said you'd love me forever more
But you never even darkened my hospital door
In your letter you told me now I'd just be holding you down

I prayed let me die but a voice said, "You're needed"
Never in my life have I felt so completed
Helping others in turn is helping me to turn this around
