One More Year

I'm begging forgiveness and walking my fingers

On hospital walls, feeling scared

Scars on my body remind me that time's only borrowed

And death doesn't care

Sisters and brothers came back to each other

Stayed with me so I could repair

Lambs to the slaughter, my sons and my daughters

I pray I can save you the tears

The thunder, the lightning, the hurricane rising

And I'm paralyzed at the core

Life flashing by me, I don't have the right to

Be asking, but I still need more

One more year, can I stay right here?

Don't want to just disappear, give me one more year

A final bow, one more cheer

One more year, can I stay right here?

I laid in my bed with the tubes in my chest

But it wasn't the end that I feared

The walls closing in, counting all of my sins

All the desperate moments we shared

Hanging in by a thread

I can't let go yet

Singing 'Ave Maria'

I've got more to give, so I'm not giving in

And I pray I can save them the tears

The thunder, the lightning, the hurricane rising

And I'm paralyzed at the core

Life flashing by me, I don't have the right to

Be asking, but I still need more

One more year, can I stay right here?

Don't want to just disappear, give me one more year

A final bow, one more cheer

One more year, can I stay right here?

The thunder, the lightning, the hurricane rising

And I'm paralyzed at the core

Life flashing by me, I don't have the right to

Be asking, but I still need more

One more year, can I stay right here?

Don't want to just disappear, give me one more year

A final bow, one more cheer

One more year, can I stay right here?
