A Hungry Heart

A request from the Hotel Chaplain, Rev. Carol, “Hungry Heart” from Bruce Springsteen and The E Street Band…



Got a slice of skin from my lower back
Doc sent out for some slides, said my cancer is black
Found some lymph nodes and doc knows why they’re glowing
C took a wrong turn and it just kept going

Every T-cell’s got a hungry heart
Every T-cell’s got a hungry heart
Lay down for IVs and you play your part
Every T-cell’s got a hungry heart

I fought fear in hospitals far
Medics in gloves I knew they’d try to mend
I took what they had and it ripped me apart
Now here I am stuck in the Hotel M

Every cancer’s got a hungry heart
Every cancer’s got a hungry heart
Lay down for IVs and you play your part
Every cancer’s got a hungry heart

Every mole mate needs a place to vent
Every mole mate wants to join their own
Don't make no difference what nobody says
Ain’t no mole mate like to be alone

Every mole mate’s got a hungry heart.
Every mole mate’s got a hungry heart
Stay out of UVs and you speak from heart
Every mole mate’s got a hungry heart
