Lights for life

I have so many things to tell you So many things that tear me apart But these pipes in my arms I'm not ashamed to show them I fought my way through Before you, the disease This evil that gnaws at me My changing moods I give you a little of my lights To light up your life Keep me! Keep my lights in front of you Keep me! Keep my smiles Give me yours in exchange I lied to save your smiles and pride I give you, I give you my lights To light up your life Keep me! Keep my lights in front of you Keep me! Keep my smiles Give me yours in exchange I made lighting my profession To amaze people, to make them dance Me, the man in the shadows Who lights up the stage and life I lied to win, but never to love If I lied, my friend, it's to give you my life I lied to play it down I experienced some very powerful moments I lied to Life, to brighten your life! My friend! Lily of the valley! If my tattooed skin can no longer Be an armour against pain Surely you can break through And feel my arms around you With all my might I renounce everything That hurts me and cuts us to the bone With all my might I cling to this gift of life Breathe a little for both of us I won't donate my body to science But if I can have the chance to help you Savour your rebirth Smile and raise your glass to me Cheers! Keep me! Keep my lights in front of you Keep me! Keep my smiles Give me yours in exchange Keep me! Keep my lights in front of you Keep me! Keep my smiles Give me yours in exchange
