The Passing
This is a sad song about a woman, a mother who contracts cancer and declines rapidly. The family is devastated at this turn of events and it is in the hands of her doctors and God. She sees the white light as she is reunited with her parents.

I'm dying I know
There's no healthy glow
My time is quite near
I have no real fear
Look after the children
When mommy is gone
Remember my smile
I cry for a while
Chorus
Cancer struck fast
It's all in the past
The morphine helps
As I scream and yelp
I am becoming so weak
I barely can speak
My family is there
As I am laid bare
The doctors decide
The patient is going
Please ask the nurse
To bring in my purse
I see the white light
God's calling me home
My parents are waiting
In anticipation
Chorus
Cancer struck fast
It's all in the past
The morphine helps
As I scream and yelp
I am becoming so weak
I barely can speak
My family is there
As I am laid bare
