Ghost
When someone has a terminal illness, people often start treating them with pity, and like they're already gone; instead of enjoying the time they have left together. Let's focus on treating each other with kindness, dignity, respect and compassion. We only live once. And we need to appreciate each other while we have the time.
Ghost

I may be dying
But that could be delayed
No use treating me like
I'm already in the ground
You keep acting like I'm a ghost
Even when I'm in the room
When will you realise
That it's not all doom and gloom?
So, take it back, take it back
Step on back, step on back now
Give me room, room to breathe
To live my life, live my life
So, take it back, take it back
Step on back, step on back now
If you can't enjoy this moment
Walk away into the night
We've been friends for many years
We've shared so many hopes and fears
All our dreams folded into history
Sharing life's interesting mystery
Surrender to the moment
We've got memories to hold on to
No one can expect to live forever
But let's do the sad thing once I'm gone
So, take it back, take it back
Step on back, step on back now
Give me room, room to breathe
To live my life, live my life
So, take it back, take it back
Step on back, step on back now
If you can't enjoy this moment
Walk away into the night
So, take it back, take it back
Step on back, step on back now
Give me room, room to breathe
To live my life, live my life
So, take it back, take it back
Step on back, step on back now
If you can't enjoy this moment
Walk away into the night
I may be dying...
But I'm not yet gone...
