My brother-in-law came up to me tonight with his iPod and handed me his headsets. A cue to put them on, I guessed -- and so I did. A song played and right away I liked what I heard. It was the exact type of music I like -- with a grungy, rock kind of sound. I figured Jack knows what I like and was sharing a new song with me. Which he was -- but there was something more to it. It wasn't just a good song -- it was a good song about cancer, with a message of hope and strength and living through the struggles of a life that has been shaken. Written by Scott Leger of the Austin-based band wideawake, Maybe Tonight, Maybe Tomorrow is dedicated to the millions of people affected by cancer -- those who have lost, those who have survived, those who fight and volunteer and support and research and raise awareness and give and inspire. And for those without cancer too really. For anyone who is faced with forces that threaten the most precious of assets -- time.Inspired by a friend's cancer diagnosis, Leger wrote the song and debuted it on May 19 at the LIVESTRONG Gala. It is now available though iTunes for 99 cents -- and 100 percent of the funds from the sale of the song benefit the Lance Armstrong Foundation. Leger writes in a journal on his website that he wrote this song to capture the human desire to overcome and to survive. And that he does.
I heard the news today. It came out of nowhere.
I wish I could run away,
but where would I go?
Is this my destiny? Something so unfair... What will become of me?
God only knows.
And they say the road to heaven might lead us back through hell.
Maybe tonight, maybe tomorrow, we will win this fight and bury this sorrow.
We're so alive, still holding on, not ready to die, so we LIVESTRONG.
My pride is left for dead, as my world gets shaken.
The thoughts inside my head are so hard to control.
I am staring down the unknown, but one thing is certain.
You could break my body, but you will never break my soul.
And they say the road to heaven might leads us back through hell, but we're holding on for more
than stories to tell.
Maybe tonight, maybe tomorrow, we will win this fight and bury this sorrow.
We're so alive, still holding on, not ready to die, so we LIVESTRONG.











1. I just bought this song from itunes and I loved it! I think its the type of song that anyone would like because it's so uplifting. Even if you don't like it it's not really a waste because 100% goes to the Lance Armstrong foundation.
They also have a Myspace. http://www.myspace.com/wideawake
