CF Song lyrics

There are quite a few singers out there that have been touched by CF and have songs about or dedicated to people with CF or who have died of CF.
 
Tammy Cochran, country singer had two brothers who passed away from CF. Celine Dion lost a niece to it

One Step Closer by Josh Davis and Eddie Stroop.(this was the CF foundation's theme for their 2004 great strides walk)
 
Would you walk a mile to see the future dance in the eyes of a child
Would you run a human race to see the difference you can make
Knowing every step you take is one step closer to a cure, one step closer to tomorrow, one step closer to a brighter day
One step closer to a world without suffering and sorrow, one step closer to another day, a brighter day
This is one small step for me. This is just the very least I can do. This is one gigantic leap. This is one great stride for me. This is one great stride for you
One step closer to a cure. One step closer to tomorrow, one step closer to a brighter day. One step closer to a world without suffering and sorrow. One step closer to another day, a brighter day

Fly by Celine Dion(in memory of her niece who died of CF)
 
Fly, fly little wing
Fly beyond imagining
The softest cloud, the whitest dove
Upon the wind of heaven's love
Past the planets and the stars
Leave this lonely world of ours
Escape the sorrow and the pain
And fly again

Fly, fly precious one
Your endless journey has begun
Take your gentle happiness
Far too beautiful for this
Cross over to the other shore
There is peace forevermore
But hold this mem'ry bittersweet
Until we meet

Fly, fly do not fear
Don't waste a breath, don't shed a tear
Your heart is pure, your soul is free
Be on your way, don't wait for me
Above the universe you'll climb
On beyond the hands of time
The moon will rise, the sun will set
But I won't forget

Fly, fly little wing
Fly where only angels sing
Fly away, the time is right
Go now, find the light

We camped out on the living room floor
In our old sleeping bags, by a make-believe fire.
In a tent made of covers, we talked for hours
My two brother and me.
Keeping the faith; racing with destiny.

They were angels in waiting.
Waiting for wings to fly from this world,
Away from their pain
Treasuring time, til time came to leave,
Leaving behind sweet memories.
Angels in waiting; angels in waiting for wings.

They always knew theyd never grow old.
Sometimes the body is weaker than the soul.
In their darkest hour, I made a promise
I will always keep:
Ill give them life; Ill let them live through me.

They were angels in waiting.
Waiting for wings to fly from this world,
Away from their pain
Treasuring time, til time came to leave,
Leaving behind sweet memories.
Angels in waiting; angels in waiting for wings.
Angels in waiting; angels in waiting for me.

They were angels in waiting.
Waiting for wings to fly from this world,
Away from their pain
Treasuring time, til time came to leave,
Leaving behind sweet memories.
Angels in waiting; angels in waiting for wings.
Angels in waiting; angels in waiting for me.
