 The "Big C" The evil cells that eat away plans and hopes and dreams But I couldn't hear the word He was my father after all Invincible They said the operation was the cure But it failed So the procedure was repeated ... again ... and again But I ignored the threat He was my father after all Unstoppable They said they had to stop the treatments Cure the pneumonia first The cancer ran rampant, blowing up his head like a basketball But I was blind to the warning He was my father after all Unbeatable They said there was nothing more to do Just keep him comfortable What were they saying?!? What did they mean?!? I refused to believe He was my father after all Immortal I asked for time alone with him I needed to tell him Make sure he knew how much I loved him Convince him to stay But she said, "We'll see" And didn't Now he's gone and I cannot forgive She stole them Those few minutes I can never get back Those words I couldn't say When she said, "We'll see" But didn't For to her he was my 'step'-father But to me He was my father To me He is my father after all Eternal ...
