When he was young
he did most of the silly
things that we all do
But how could he have guessed
that someday screwing
around would be his do?
He has been dia
gnosed HIV positive
Ten years ago, come next June,
ten years ago
He drinks more than thirty
pills a day
Some only two, three,
but inside a box
So many pills and no care inside
Every day, it gets harder to hold on
It gets harder to hold on
A society gave up on him
and says he can only blame himself
For drug abuse and shar ing
needles and homosexuality
He has been diagnosed
HIV positive
10 years ago,
come next year and 10 years ago
He takes more than 30 pills a day
Some only do prevent
side effects
So many pills and no cure in sight
Every day it gets harder to hold on
It gets harder to hold on
We can make it easier for him
And show him he belongs
We can make it easier for him
And show him he belongs
He has been diagnosed HIV positive
Ten years ago, come next June
Ten years in hell
He drinks more than 30 pills a day
Some only do cream and side effects
So many pills and no cure in sight
Every day it gets harder to hold on
It gets harder to hold on you
