The other day I got an email, |
| [00:11.61] |
I almost didn't read it |
| [00:12.75] |
But something caught my eye right |
| [00:14.18] |
before I could delete it |
| [00:15.17] |
It was bold and underlined, |
| [00:16.34] |
"Please Read" was the title |
| [00:17.84] |
Followed by "Jake you are my idol" |
| [00:19.71] |
It said and I quote, |
| [00:20.84] |
my name is Nikki and I used to be dancer |
| [00:23.21] |
Til the day the doctor diagnosed me with cancer |
| [00:25.27] |
So I said goodbye to all the hair on my head |
| [00:27.70] |
And said hello to my hospital bed |
| [00:29.64] |
Yeah see I was just a normal girl, |
| [00:31.63] |
it happened so fast |
| [00:32.94] |
There were so many days |
| [00:34.02] |
that I thought would be my last |
| [00:35.42] |
However the fight was tough, |
| [00:36.79] |
and the battle was long |
| [00:37.79] |
But I felt strong |
| [00:39.10] |
when I listened to your songs |
| [00:40.35] |
You were, always there for me, |
| [00:41.96] |
you helped my heart beat |
| [00:43.35] |
You were my only friend, |
| [00:44.65] |
kept you on repeat |
| [00:45.90] |
I thank God for you every single night |
| [00:47.78] |
Cause believe or not, |
| [00:49.01] |
you saved my life |
| [00:49.98] |
|
| [00:50.86] |
I've met a million people, |
| [00:52.04] |
been a million places |
| [00:53.23] |
Shook a million hands, |
| [00:54.54] |
seen a million faces |
| [00:55.78] |
I've had a million lows, |
| [00:56.91] |
and a million more highs |
| [00:58.22] |
No I haven't made a million, |
| [00:59.19] |
but I've touched a million lives |
| [01:00.75] |
I've met a million people, |
| [01:02.13] |
been a million places |
| [01:03.37] |
Shook a million hands, |
| [01:04.49] |
seen a million faces |
| [01:05.68] |
Ive had a million lows, |
| [01:06.99] |
and a million more highs |
| [01:08.30] |
No I haven't made a million, |
| [01:09.66] |
but I've but I've |
| [01:10.50] |
Yeah the mailman knocked said it was for me |
| [01:13.50] |
Handed me a box, sent from Tennessee |
| [01:15.92] |
Written on the top "for jakes eyes only" |
| [01:18.39] |
Inside was a journal and letter |
| [01:20.13] |
that he wrote me |
| [01:21.07] |
It said my name is Dillon |
| [01:22.26] |
I'm in 7th grade |
| [01:23.09] |
I'm ridiculed and picked |
| [01:24.67] |
on almost everyday |
| [01:25.86] |
Yeah they push me the in halls |
| [01:27.40] |
in between my classes |
| [01:28.52] |
Yesterday they took my books then broke my glasses |
| [01:31.15] |
I got no one to talk to, its like I don't exist |
| [01:33.58] |
Sometimes I wonder if I was gone, |
| [01:34.89] |
would I be missed? |
| [01:35.97] |
But let me tell the real reason for this letter |
| [01:38.65] |
You've helped me through it all, |
| [01:39.90] |
you've help me feel better |
| [01:41.08] |
You're words gimme confidence, |
| [01:41.77] |
|
| [01:42.40] |
your messages inspire me |
| [01:43.96] |
You help me find my inner |
| [01:44.77] |
strength deep inside me |
| [01:46.58] |
Through all the bad times, |
| [01:47.57] |
you helped me find the light |
| [01:48.72] |
Believe or not, you saved my life |
| [01:51.27] |
I've met a million people, |
| [01:52.58] |

| [01:53.83] |
Shook a million hands, |
| [01:55.08] |
seen a million faces |
| [01:56.20] |
I've had a million lows, |
| [01:57.57] |
and a million more highs |
| [01:58.82] |

| [02:00.06] |
but I've touched a million lives |
| [02:01.37] |
I've met a million people, |
| [02:02.62] |

No I haven't made a million, |
| [02:10.26] |
but I've but I've |
| [02:11.07] |
I was sittin' at my table |
| [02:12.70] |
at dinner the other night |
| [02:13.81] |
When I noticed a little girl |
| [02:15.37] |
sittin' to my right |
| [02:16.37] |
She was lookin' at me like she knew me, |
| [02:18.45] |
I guess she did |
| [02:18.77] |
|
| [02:19.40] |
Cause then she walked right up to me |
| [02:21.08] |
and then she said |
| [02:21.89] |
My name is Sami and I swear |
| [02:23.33] |
that I'm your biggest fan |
| [02:24.39] |
I think she even had my name |
| [02:25.84] |
written on her hand |
| [02:26.90] |
She said me my brother used to |
| [02:28.40] |
listen to you every day |
| [02:29.77] |
Until last year, when he passed away |
| [02:31.41] |
I'll never forget seein' my parents cry |
| [02:34.02] |
When they got a call sayin' |
| [02:35.65] |
that your son had died |
| [02:36.64] |
Man I wish that he was here now, |
| [02:38.27] |
you were his favorite |
| [02:39.66] |
He had your mixtape |
| [02:40.65] |
and never stopped playin' it |
| [02:41.90] |
Your music gives me a feelin |
| [02:43.47] |
that I just can't describe |
| [02:44.65] |
Its like I got my brother back, |
| [02:46.15] |
and hes still alive |
| [02:47.14] |
I pray for both you,of |
| [02:48.21] |
every single night |
| [02:49.26] |
Cause believe or not, |
| [02:50.45] |
you saved my life |
| [02:51.45] |
|
| [02:52.01] |
I've met a million people, |

| [03:12.08] |
Now let me turn the table, |
| [03:13.45] |

| [03:14.32] |
I had a dream but your the reason |
| [03:15.89] |

| [03:16.78] |
Yeah I've had some dark days, |
| [03:18.23] |
when the sun don't shine |
| [03:19.30] |
But you always reminded me |
| [03:21.04] |
