Lyrics

My Christmas Song – for FAWM25

While I am nestled snug in my bed
Visions of sugar-plums dance in my head
I was taking a long winter’s nap
But now I’m filled with dread…

I got cancer for Christmas.
Was gone, but now it’s back
Hormone deprivation and pelvic radiation.
A multi-point attack

My prostate was in the rearview
Four years cancer-free
But I got cancer for Christmas
It’s going after me

B-part:
For years I won’t know if it worked
There’s no way I can tell
Get the best treatment available
And fight the battle like hell

Side-effects from Lupron
Twinkling (of) radiation beams
Yes, I got cancer for Christmas
It’s no longer in my dreams

Tag:
I got cancer for Christmas
It’s no longer in my dreams
