She walks away The colors fade to grey Every precious moments now a waste She hits the gas Hoping it would pass The red light starts to flash Its time to wait
And the black keys never looked so beautiful And a perfect rainbow never seemed so dull And the lights out never had this brighter glow And the black keys are showing me a world I never knew, no world I never knew
Got the news today Doctor said I had to stay A Little Bit Longer And I'll be fine When I thought it'd all been done When I thought it'd all been said A Little Bit Longer And I'll be fine But you dont know what you got 'Till its gone And you dont know what its like to feel so low And every time you smile, you laugh, you glow You dont even know, no, no You dont even know
(Spoken) In coming up of a new year, I did some thinking about how I would approach this year. And I had a couple of thoughts, I want to share with you tonight. First is this: New Year, New Beginnings And the second: 2010 the year of NO Fear You know, so often We think we have each step figured out And when one thing doesnt go our way We begin to question, We being to fear of what our next step would be I had one of those moments about 4 and a half years ago When I got diagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes And although, I feel like I've shared my story enough, there's a moment in particular I wanna share with you tonight. A moment that I dont talk about very often. Usually, you hear me say positive things: that I've moved on, I pressed on, I didnt let it slow me down. But I never talk about the moment when I fear what the future was. When I asked the question, "Am I gonna die?" My doctor looked back at me and said, "Nope. You're gonna be alright." And then from that point on, I made the commitment that I wouldnt let it slow me down And so when that moment comes for you In your own circumstance, In your own life, Promise me one thing: Dont you ever, EVER let it slow you down Because I believe in you And I wanna thank all of you for believing in me Even when I had trouble believing in myself So for that I say, Thank you. Now, would you sing this out with me tonight?
(sung) But you dont know what you got 'till its gone, louder! And you dont know what its like to feel so low Every time you smile, you laugh, you glow You dont even know, no, no You dont even know So I'll wait 'till kingdom come, All the highs and lows are gone, A Little Bit Longer And I'll be fine I'll be fine :)
