A True Story
A Second Chance
A pain as bright as sunlight and as sharp as stainless steel
Came down across my breastbone and made me stand real still
A vice as strong as the jaws of a shark pressed down across my chest
And made me breathe more quickly what I thought was my last breath
As I fell across the pathway and down onto the new mown grass
I heard a voice deep within me say. 'Hang on the pain will pass'
As soon as I opened up my eyes I thought I had come round
But was looking down upon myself lying flat upon the ground
I saw them load me in an ambulance, and then it all went black
The next thing that I knew, I was in hospital on my back
I heard the nursing sister say. 'He very nearly died'
But came back to life when they laid him on his side'
The filled me full of drugs and wheeled me to the theatre
And opened up my chest cavity and by-passed my Aorta
They sewed me back up again and wheeled me to I.C.U.
Then when I came around again, it's then I really knew
That I had a second chance of life thanks to a dedicated few.
