My clock is ticking, my time is passing
Passing by me...
My time is leaving, going away
But I'm destined to stay.

I'll stay behind, in what soon will be past
I'm not going anywhere.
If there is the other side, that's where I'll go
It's the only trip my future has planned.

I've fought a lot, I've cried a lot
And I have lost all battles that I had.
I've fought for me, and then for them
But I have lost, though I haven't planned that way.

I'm lying here for a long time
I'm watching the faces of those who care for me.
I'm ending my story anytime
But some things are left to be said.

I've made my peace, this is my time
But there are so many thing that I regret.
My daughter's wedding, my son's children
I will not live to see that...

I won't be there to fix her veil
To tell her everything will be alright.
No one will ever call me 'grandma'
Those words won't make me smile.

When I see tears in my children's eyes
It hurts more day by day.
When I see sorrow on their faces
It kills me before the death itself.

This life will kill me and I can't stop it
But I'll do anything to ease their pain.
So I cry here alone at night
Sobbing in my hospital bed.

So I cry here, it's over, I can't fight
I'm regretting the life I'll not have.
I've made my peace, but it's not all right
I want to live but life's not letting me.

I cry again, but it's a different night
Something is missing in me...
I cry again, but what's that light?
Why is it coming to me... ?

My children's faces, my memories our life
Those are the lat I see.
I am defeated but I have won a fight
For those who live will always remember me.
