about

Funnily enough, a boy named Christopher is the driving force behind this song. I met him at Camp Sunshine in Casco, Maine (A camp for children with terminal illnesses) in 2008. He told me that doctors had informed him that he would probably die within the next week or so. He later mentioned that they told him this, something like four years ago. .....and then again something like two years ago. ....and there we were straight chillin in present day and he looked just fine to me. So this song is really a tribute to his strength and determination. I think we do in fact have somewhat of a say in how long we live and certainly how well we live.

lyrics

You are young in years they say but,
soon enough it may be your day.
It's a force that can't be beat they tell me,
there's nothin' you can do.
We'll see.
We'll see.

I won't lie down that easily.
No I won't lie down that easily.

So many reports fly in each day
from white coats and red eyes always.
It's a weight that can't be held they tell me,
Nothin to do but wait and see.
We'll see...

I won't lie down that easily.
No I won't lie down that easily.

I've seen two times now come and go,
and I've felt more than I should know
Let me rub your eyes how could it be?
Time is my best friend enemy.
