Backstory:

I was diagnosed with stage 3 cancer on August 17, 2020. With the help of an all-star medical team from Dana Farber Cancer Institute in Boston and Dartmouth Medical Center-Norris Cotton Cancer Institute in Lebaonon, NH...I have been cancer free for the past couple of years.

I have not put a melody to the song yet.

Lyrics:

                                                  
It’s Always Someone Else

I used to send prayer signs to friends on line
For someone sick or on hard times
I'd close my eyes, have a word with God
Ask Him to help, then I'd move on
           In the moment I'd honestly sympathize
           But, I never realized
          
Chorus
It's always someone else till it's not
Till the one in the mirror has to walk the walk
Everyone I love ran through my mind
So much more to do
Now it's all about time
Money and things don't mean a whole lot
When your world stops
Yeah, it's always someone else till it's not
 
I put my best face on one day at a time
Jesus became the best friend of mine
Troubles that once put me over the brink
Are like ant hills and don't mean a thing
           In a heartbeat our lives can change
           And we're never the same      
 
Chorus  
 
           I had my "why me" days like others do
           Till I saw that smiling little girl...with no hair
           Playin' there in the waiting room
           
Chorus
 
It's always someone else till it's not

(Spoken)
Some blessings come in the strangest ways
One of mine came with a scary name
I've got to say, because of cancer          
I'm a better me today
