He's waiting patiently on a hospital bed
he's waiting for the doctor to come back in
by then he falls asleep wishing he was

just as strong as everybody else
he just wants to live like everybody else


Chorus:
what if I believed
what if I prayed

if I did what it make all this go away
where did I go wrong
what didn't I do right

cuz I don't wanna have to say goodbye
cuz I still believe


The doctor takes a breath and he opens the door
his face said everything they all had feared
then the boy began to cry just like he had a thousand times

he never thought that life could hurt like this
so he prayed with all the faith that he had left


Chorus

In the pouring rain somewhere far away

there's someone that hurts just like I do and
In the pouring rain somewhere far away
there's someone that hurts just like you do

but I still believe I'm still gonna pray

I'm gonna thank the Lord for every day

I'm still holding on I'm still gonna fight
cuz I don't wanna have to say goodbye
no I don't wanna have to say goodbye
