Right now it's a need, the need to express
Once I began to write songs,
My mates in the band keep telling me to slow down,
He’s like a machine
But the truth is that with each new situation,
And I love you my son
and I love you my boy
and I love you with pride
And my love and my joy
keep gaining ground
and colouring my life.
Keep on painting
keep on writing
keep on saying it’s so
keep on hoping it so
All this started two years ago, on October 13th 2008,
when our middle child, Jontxu, was diagnosed
They told us that Jon’s was leaving
We promised Jontxu that we were going to do everything
Yes, there were times when Jon
Hey, you’re doing everything you can,
And so we’d tell him we would be with him always,
Like Buzzlightyear, Jon’s favourite hero, used to love to say.
The first challenge was to keep Jontxu alive,
Now, in phase two, we’re focusing on how to help
And we decided that, using our shared love of music,
the Walk On Project
To try and achieve whatever we could.
We’ve seen that there are research projects that get results
with budgets similar to the funds
…sobbing with joy.
Even if this crying
even if this pain
come from such love
One evening we were sitting in the livingroom
and asked if he could stay up a while
A short while later, he came back with his notebook
and we found he hadn’t been drawing.
Instead, he’d been writing
about how his brother had fallen ill,
and how much he still loved Jon
all five of us could be well and together.
And, oh mygod, we almost died of emotion…
And every time he gets emotional, he writes a song
The name of the song is
Keep on painting
keep on writing
keep on saying it’s so
keep on hoping it so …
Keep on painting
keep on writing
keep on saying it’s so
keep on hoping it so …
