This song was written for our little 5 year old neighbor, Caleb, who was diagnosed with leukemia in September 2013. Caleb has been receiving treatments for almost a year now and has three more years to go. Even through his worst days Caleb continues to be positive and brave. He's the most courageous little boy I know. His loving family is right there with him to give him the love and support he needs....and their unshakable faith in God will carry them through....God Bless!
Lyrics
CALEB’S COURAGE
By Patricia Bishop and Adam Bishop ©2-24-14
(Vocals by Adam Bishop, Zachary, Alexia Bishop and Mia Montemayor)
V1
He’s like all the little boys
Who like playing with their toys
But some days he doesn’t feel so good
And when he starts to feeling bad
His little eyes look so sad
And he can’t eat the way he should
Lead In
But Caleb never gives up; Caleb never gives up
Chorus
He’s got the courage of a lion
He’s got the courage of a lion
He’s gonna knock that cancer down
Till it no longer comes around
He’s got the courage of a lion
Caleb’s got the courage of a lion
He’s gonna knock that cancer down
Till it no longer comes around
V2
He knows his big brother Zach
Will always have his back
Every single day and night
And Mom and Dad are always there
With loving hearts and prayers
To help him win his fight
Lead In
But Caleb never gives up; Caleb never gives up
Chorus
He’s got the courage of a lion
He’s got the courage of a lion
He’s gonna knock that cancer down
Till it no longer comes around
He’s got the courage of a lion
Caleb’s got the courage of a lion
He’s gonna knock that cancer down
Till it no longer comes around
Bridge
He’s the bravest boy you’ll ever know
Chorus
He’s got the courage of a lion
He’s got the courage of a lion
He’s gonna knock that cancer down
Till it no longer comes around
He’s got the courage of a lion
Caleb’s got the courage of a lion
He’s gonna knock that cancer down
Till it no longer comes around
