How Dark It Can Get

First I wanna thank you Because I am a stage four cancer survivor It is in my darkest hours That a lot of people can't comprehend That you were there You know I'm going to live life I'm going to live my days How did you get from I don't know if I'm going to come out of this battle I don't know if I'm going to come home How did you get from The darkest places To the brightest places? Sam Harris said to me You talk about combat As your fondest memories The best thing that's happened in your life The high point of your life Which is all true And he said but then you talk about war being awful So Which one is it? I said to him I said Have you ever know anyone That has had cancer Terminal cancer And made it through Have you ever known anyone that that's happened to? And he's like Yes I said When you talk to them Many times They say I'm glad that this happened to me Number one Because proves I can take it Number two It's better me than one of my kids And number three Now that I know how dark it can get I know how dark it can get Now that I know how dark it can get I truly appreciate the light in the world Now that I know how dark it can get I know how dark it can get Now that I know how dark it can get I truly appreciate the light in the world That's what combat is And was For me That's what it was It was Dark and horrible And I wouldn't wish it on anyone Just like you wouldn't wish Cancer on anyone But If I can give them A little Knowledge A little bit Iof a glimpse Into What it is When you said that People were clapping Because they get to see a little bit of it And when they go home tonight And they think How about that girl What about that girl She's fighting She's living And I'm gonna live to I'm gonna live too Now that I know how dark it can get I know how dark it can get Now that I know how dark it can get I truly appreciate the light in the world Now that I know how dark it can get I know how dark it can get Now that I know how dark it can get I truly appreciate the light in the world I Don't Pretend To have The Cognitive capacity To Comprehend The mysteries of the word But maybe you're right And maybe you're here To let us know That it can get dark But it will get light again Now that I know how dark it can get I know how dark it can get Now that I know how dark it can get I truly appreciate the light in the world Now that I know how dark it can get I know how dark it can get Now that I know how dark it can get I truly appreciate the light in the world --- How Dark It Can Get - Akira the Don & Jocko Willink
