To Sunday
Composition, lyrics, arrangement, and singing by Michelle Ning Lo
You say you’re brave, suffering the pain
But your sky just rains every day
You lie in bed, beauty flowing away
Hoping for health one day
You never give up faith
You just hold on to your dreams
But, Sunday, you’re dreaming yourself away
You thank your friends for all the care
You fight the pain with a smile
You say you’ll grow and be a nurse
You never let the tears blur your sight
So strong, so brave, all the time
But you died
Your dreams draining from your eyes
You never gave up faith
You just held onto your dreams
But, Sunday, you still gave in to fate
You thought as long as you don’t let go
You wouldn’t let life slip away
You thought as long as your confidence holds
Your strength could accomplish the great
But fate, oh fate, took your life
So you died
Your faith draining from your eyes
You see, Sunday
Sometimes dreams just aren’t enough
But your time’s not up
Your wish will come true
Someday
You told me life’s a miracle
You’re given a chance to renew
You said, if it were possible
You would want to save others too
Someday I will become a nurse
Someday I’ll start saving lives
Sunday, your prayers have all been heard
Sunday, I’ll share with you my life
You’re here, right here, in my mind
You won’t die
Your dreams will be tucked here with mine
Always safe here with mine
-Michelle Ning Lo
