Lyrics:

Every morning look outside the window
Watch the ants a marchin down the freeway
Almost wishing I was them ‘cause I don’t have the choice
If only cause I don’t have the choice

When everything you know gets ripped away
In the time it takes to read the doctor’s face
Wondering if I will live but trying not to cry
*Try*ing not to cry

Hear strangers screaming out into the night
Wonder what dark things they must be facing
Every night it’s something else, the pain is in the walls
The *pai*n is in the walls

But then I started seeing miracles
In all the things I used to take for granted
Saw vibrance where I once saw grey, and light in everything
L*i*ght in everything

Saw friends I hadn’t seen in years and years
Reaching out so scared with blind compassion
Feeling how they wish me well, I want it even harder
I w*a*nt it even harder

And I will live today the best I can
So each tomorrow greets me like a bonus
Day by day I will survive ‘cause I’m not done with life
Oh, I’m not done with life

Hey, I know that song! NO, you're not done with life! Keep fightin', buddy. I miss you and Jenny! I hope she still get strummed now that there is a new kid in town (mandolin anyone?)
Peace,
Tim
