Miles away but I can feel your pain
Wish I was there to keep you sane
I know you're hurting
But what can I do
Besides letting you know
That I love you

Miles away but I can see your tears
Rolling from your cheeks to your ears
Your pillow soaking wet
As you lay in the night
Trying to be strong
Trying to see a light

Miles away but I can see your strength
It stretch far beyond any length
I know you don't feel strong
As you search for an answer
To the question of why
Your kid has cancer

Miles away but I wish you could see
Just how great of a mum you can be
You put everything aside
For your dying baby's in need
Of your love, comfort and more
You're stronger than you perceive

Miles away but I want you to see
That you are more than you think you can be
You're already a hero
To a sick little boy
And I know you'll bring more
So much more of this joy

So don't give up, even though you feel
Like the world's crashing and it's not ideal
You can get through it
You've done it before
You're a rolemodel to me
But you're so much more
