Sit and watch, sit and wait
The clock tick tocks on and on
There's nothing do, nothing to say
Inside is fear, outside stay strong
Pace to the door, pace up the hall
Watch TV without seeing a thing
Wait for an answer, wait for the call
They'll find someone, the phone will ring
One in a thousand, what's the chance
The long wait is finally through
A brother we find is a perfect match
And he's so willing to give it to you
Sit and watch, sit and wait
The clock tick tocks on and on
Lean on each other and silently pray
Worry for Dad, worry for Don
Pace to the door, pace back and forth
Read the same page o'er and o'er
Wait for the surgeon to bring his report
He finally comes through the door
One in a thousand, what's the odds
It worked and worked immediately
A miracle it seems sent from God
In the form of a brother's kidney
No reason to sit, no reason to wait
Life's adventure goes on and on
Enjoy the moment and seize the day
A gift from God, a gift from Don
Climb up a mountain, fish in a stream
Watch the sunset then watch it rise
Hug your daughters, dance with your queen
No more tears left to fall from our eyes
One in a thousand, what's it mean
Life's more precious now than we knew
The nightmare now becomes a dream
And we get three more decades with you
