CALE SAMPSON - It's Not Time lyrics

rate me

It's not time (It's not time)

For you to go now (For you to go now)

But if it is (But if it is then)

I'll live somehow (I'll live somehow)

It all happened so quick, I woke up for class

Heard a cry from your bedroom, had to act fast

Called an ambulance, you couldn't even move

Your face was pale white, your lips were turning blue

My worst fear ever was close to coming true

As long as I remember Ma, it's been just me and you

When the paramedics came, they all seemed spooked

Didn't know what was wrong, unsure of what to do

We put you on a stretcher, then rushed towards

The closest hospital for an emergency ward

Makes you realize how life is so precious

The people we care about should never be neglected

Does it have to be now, doesn't feel like it's time

You're still a young woman, ain't even past your prime

And I'm an only child, now I have to be a man

If she's gonna leave, I need to be there to hold her hand

And tell her everything she deserves to know

How much she's helped me and everybody else grow

Mom I'm so thankful for all our conversations

That found answers to frustrating complications

Anxiety's strong, "am I gonna give in? "

Right now, I feel as if I'm not even livin'

Moment to moment in constant anticipation

Struggling to get through every single situation

I'll take the advice, you gave to better my life

Because now more than ever, it's time for us to fight

This is real life stuff, we'll all go through

I'm just lucky this time, somehow my Mom's pulled through

My greatest challenge was almost losing my Mom

Preparing myself for her to be physically gone

What was I to do, my only choice was to face it

Even if I run, there's no way I can escape it

So whatever happens next, I'll have to try to deal

The chances of her death are appearing very real

Never seen someone in so much agony or pain

Pushed to the very brink of what a human can withstain

Such a close call in that hospital hall

When you were unattented to, I had to scream out a call

And sprint for a doctor, you were losing air quick

Shaking uncontrollably, I really thought that was it

And a group of surgeons realized they had to operate

Immediately cause' the situation couldn't wait

Transferred you to O.R., so they could cut your stomach open

And stop that disease from destroying vital organs

I remember telling you, our souls will stay connected

It's no coincidence in this life they've intersected

No matter the outcome, I'm a spread good energy

That you've given to me Ma, I won't let fear get the best of me

So don't be afraid, there's other people out there

Thinking of you right now, transmitting their care

You said, "see ya soon Cay's! " then got wheeled away

Showed so much bravery, I sensed you'd be okay (because)
