You were once invincible, your head held up so high,
who knew this disease would change it all in the blink of an eye
Try to survive father of mine,
who knew this world would have given you such a cruel twist of fate
your hands won't stop, your hands won't stop shaking .
God was never too fair to you or me
Gave you a beating heart, then gave you atrophy
A body built to degenerate and you keep breathing all the same
Father, it kills me to see you so helpless when all you ever wanted was a way out
and you were only given nothing but a wife who packs and leaves,
and a crippling disease that eats away at your body but not your soul
That heart's still got a beat so don't you dare give up on me now
Try to survive father of mine,
you know it breaks my heart to watch those tremors take over
your hands won't stop, your hands won't stop shaking .
Infection spreads so quick with no cure in sight
A cancer uncontained but you still fight
It can't rip away everything about the man I knew,
the one who picked me up after all I've been through
Father, it kills me to see you so helpless when all you ever wanted was a way out
and you were only given nothing but a wife who packs and leaves,
and a crippling disease that eats away, ooh it eats away.
Father I know that your hands won't stop, they won't stop shaking
But those lungs still breathe, so don't give up on me.
