I see my tears falling,
I am striving and surviving,
I see the rainbow smiling,
I know better days are coming.

I am the knight in shining gold armour,
I fight my battles with courage and valour,
I hear nothing but the loudest roar,
I continue to walk on this path without fear.

I am mighty and fearless at cancer,
I am a child with the gold ribbon,
I hope for a cure for childhood cancer,
I will continue to wear my gold ribbon.

I am blessed with immense happiness,
I am thankful for the love and peace,
I am now free from my sufferings,
I will rise!
