From "Chicken"
We're folding paper cranes
For the kid with cancer
We're folding paper cranes
For the kid
Oh, oh
He's got cancer
But at least
He'll live forever,
In a way.
I wear different
Colored ribbons so
You know which diseases
I oppose
And when each
Telethon is on
I watch the
Contribution thermometer
As it grows
At show-and-tell you'll see
His origami legacy
He left us years ago
Oh, oh, oh, oh
A million chances to fly
So hold your breath
When you drive by
It's a million gently folded
Worthless tokens of commiseration
We're folding paper cranes
For the kid with cancer
We're folding paper cranes
For the kid
Oh, oh
He's got cancer
But at least
He'll live forever,
In a way.
