I

I am a knight – I’m going to fight
against this nightmare – life isn’t fair.
They say I won’t die – is this the truth or a lie?
I know, I will suffer – but will I be tougher
every new day? – Yes, I’m gonna stay
brave and strong – a whole life long.
This crappy disease – it will never leave.
But I’m gonna breathe – deeply – to make „cheese“.
A smile is my weapon – as long as Parkinson will threaten.
I’m the stronger one – rights it‘s got none.
I don’t allow ears – to listen to my tears.
Nobody will hear – my depression and fear.
I’m gonna fight – every day, every night.

This way is right – cause I am a knight.
I just understand – that in „Parkinson“- land
I need a helping hand – but it won’t be the end!
There are family and friends – with their helping hands.
Most of them have always been there – always ready to share
everything in life – I can feel their strive.
Some friends are new – ignoring the clue
that I don’t expect anything – a strength they bring
like a magic ring – what a great thing.
Some friends are gone – I don’t miss a single one.
This loss is a gift – sometimes life‘s directions drift.
Life isn’t perfect at all – and Parkinson will make me fall
again and again – but I’ll fight my way back as long as I can.
I’m gonna fight – every day, every night.
This way is right – cause I am a knight.
