Kina Grannis Supports the Fight Against Cancer with “Make It Go”

Kina Grannis has released a performance version of a personal track called “Make It Go” as a single purchase with 100% of the money going towards the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society. The song touches upon her experience with her Mother and their fight against disease. It’s a powerful and meanigful song and you can support this Run Team Kina campaign by picking the single from her online store.

This song is dedicated to my mother who was diagnosed with a blood cancer 11 years ago. She is amazing and strong and doing well and one of the most amazing humans you could ever meet.

p.s. I hate cancer.

I don’t remember much, I tried to put it aside
All I know is I was empty, scared and frozen inside
You were away, hospital stays for nights
Something was wrong and you were hurting and we didn’t know why

And then we learned the news, remember Daddy cried
Nothing’s worse than seeing someone so strong so petrified
I didn’t know whether to scream or die
So I just covered up my eyes pretending everything’s fine

Oh, no I never showed you all my tears ’cause I don’t
Want this to be something that’s real, and I hoped
That somehow my love might make it go

And I apologize for never showing I cared
But with all the fear and pain I felt no words could compare
I was so wrong, it wasn’t strong not to share
The feelings in my heart, my nightmares, and the dreams that I bear

Oh, no I never showed you all my tears ’cause I don’t
Want this to be something that’s real, and I hoped
That somehow my love might make it go

How could I, How could I go
Go so long and not let you know
That I’m so scared and so angry, too
It’s so unfair, why did this happen to you

Oh, no I never showed you all my tears ’cause I don’t
Want this to be something that’s real, and I hoped
That somehow my love might make it go
