Eric Cestero - Hope In Flesh and Blood Lyrics



Eric Cestero - Hope In Flesh and Blood Lyrics




Thirty-five and a call came through
Said I was the match one chance to pursue
A little girl just four years old
With a cancer running wild taking its hold
October air was heavy testing me for months
I saved my blood my marrow in hopes of a new dawn
Surgery scheduled January's knife
Jackson Memorial praying she'd have life

I gave her my hope in flesh and blood
Poured out my soul let it flood
I offered my life so she could fight
Held on to faith through the darkest night
I became her shield her chance to grow
But in the end I watched that hope go

Recovery was slow iron dragged me down
But I wore my pain like a hero's crown
I waited for a sign for news of her breath
Praying she'd survive escape the grip of death
A year went by then the call came through
Sitting outside a hospice room didn't know what to do
"She's gone" they said "but we thank you still"
Words fell empty left me with a chill

I gave her my hope in flesh and blood
Poured out my soul let it flood
I offered my life so she could fight
Held on to faith through the darkest night
I became her shield her chance to grow
But in the end I watched that hope go

Recovery was slow iron dragged me down
But I wore my pain like a hero's crown
I waited for a sign for news of her breath
Praying she'd survive escape the grip of death
A year went by then the call came through
Sitting outside a hospice room didn't know what to do
"She's gone" they said "but we thank you still"
Words fell empty left me with a chill

I gave her my hope in flesh and blood
Poured out my soul let it flood
I offered my life so she could fight
Held on to faith through the darkest night
I became her shield her chance to grow
But in the end I watched that hope go

Walked away in silence the world felt thin
Carried that loss deep within
I never told my mother she'd never understand
She feared for my life never saw the plan
"How would you feel if you left me here?"
Her words echoed but I couldn't reply

I gave her my hope in flesh and blood
Poured out my soul let it flood
I offered my life so she could fight
Held on to faith through the darkest night
I became her shield her chance to grow
But in the end I watched that hope go

Hope in flesh and blood I gave all I could
Her small life lost but I did what I should
Now I carry her with me in every beat
In every breath in every heartbeat
