Living a life with cancer is a journey into the world of cancer. The cancer world is full of uncertainties, such as unknown specific causes; always with the possibility of recurrences after treatment; and not knowing the mode of exit, to name a few. The journey or voyage is rough, with unquantifiable physical pains and psychological distresses. The journey is strictly speaking a battle against cancer.
Cancer Crusaders are people who fight against cancer and who help others fight against cancer.
We have Cancer Crusaders who are recently diagnosed and treated. We have Cancer Crusaders in remission for more than 10 years now (whom we categorized as cancer survivors). We also have Cancer Crusaders who have heroically died because of cancer. (Eternal rest grant unto them and let perpetual light shine upon them, O Lord)
To them, we dedicate this YOU'RE GONNA BE OKAY song and we ask all Cancer Crusaders to sing this song with Raquel M Caparas (a thyroid cancer on her 2nd year of remission) and eventually use the messages in this song to:
motivate all Cancer Crusaders to be strong and keep on fighting; never lose hope; hold on, don't let go; put one foot in front of the other; will get through it; don't give up; don't give in; just follow the light in the darkness (advices to be given by co-Cancer Crusaders - sharers and ROJoson)
You are gonna be okay - covered by Raquel M. Caparas
Sung by Raquel M. Caparas, a thyroid cancer patient, for ROJoson Cancer Crusaders - December 6, 2020
YOU'RE GONNA BE OKAY
I know it's all you've got to just, be strong
And it's a fight just to keep it together, together
I know you think, that you are too far gone
But hope is never lost
Hope is never lost
Hold on, don't let go
Hold on, don't let go
Just take, one step, closer
Put one foot in front of the other
You'll, get through this
Just follow the light in the darkness
You're gonna be ok
I know your heart is heavy from those nights
Just remember that you're a fighter, a fighter
You never know just what tomorrow holds
And you're stronger than you know
Stronger than you know
Hold on, don't let go
Hold on, don't let go
Just take, one step, closer
Put one foot in front of the other
You'll, get through this
Just follow the light in the darkness
One step, closer
Put one foot in front of the other
You'll, get through this
Just follow the light in the darkness
You're gonna be ok
And when the night, is closing in
Don't give up and don't give in
This won't last, it's not the end, it's not the end
You're gonna be ok
When the night, is closing in
Don't give up and don't give in
This won't last, it's not the end, it's not the end
You're gonna be ok
