RIP Princess Warrior Faith. You were a Survivor when I made this and we all miss you so much. Fly high. Are you aware? Get the facts, demand change, and join the battle in the war to save kids lives. September is Childhood Cancer Awareness Month. To the artists whom I have much respect for and their record label. This is a Childhood Cancer Awareness video, The topic of cancer should be very close to home for the lead singer and guitarist as his father passed from the disease when Billy Joe was 10, and that is what this song is actually about. Please just leave the music as is. I’m not raising money, I’m not selling anything, I’m just spreading awareness. So chill. Music by Green Day Lyrics by Billy Joe Armstrong All Rights Reserved – I own nothing

Then the last two verses (Chorus) are written in the shoes of Jonah’s family or anyone else who loved him; talking to God about Jonah. I hope it’s not too confusing to understand. “To Keep Me” – Gloria Yang You say, “Breathe Me.” You say, “Love Me.” You will give me, all I’ll ever need, Just to keep me. I am lovely, As lovely as I’ll ever be. Because of your gift for me, I am a different kind of me. *They say you take away the beauty and the pain together. Oh I know you have a plan, so I cannot give my reason of anger. I know you’re no longer suffering, and I know you’re having a blast up there with Jesus. Forever in our hearts, Jonah. “Blessed are those who die in the Lord, for they will …
