Cystic fibrosis is a disease that attacks the digestive system and slowly shuts down the lungs.
The mucus in everyone else's lungs is more watery, so you guys can clear it easier.
But when it comes to my lung, my mucus is very syrupy.
I've been doing my treatments every day of my life, so to me, it’s just one of those things that’s normal.
My name is Bryan Warnecke and I've been living with Cystic Fibrosis for fifteen years.
Hoping you take that jump
But don't fear the fall
Hope when the water rises
You built a wall
Hoping the crowd screams out
Screaming your name
Hope if everybody runs
You choose to stay
When I first found out the life expectancy for the first time it really scared me. Right now, it's up to about 36.
It's just one of those things that really makes you appreciate life, makes you appreciate where you are as a person.
Hope that you fall in love
And it hurts so bad
The only way you can know
You give it all you have
And I hope that you don't suffer
But take the pain
Hope when the moment comes you'll say
I, I did it all
I, I did it all
I owned every second that this world could give
I saw so many places
The things that I did
Yeah, with every broken bone
I swear I lived
It feels like I'm breathing through a straw.
Now if I try to breath hard, it hurts.
I want to make the most out of my life, and have as much fun as I possibly can, and my biggest fear is not being able to do that
Hope that you spend your days
But they all add up
And when that sun goes down
Hope you raise your cup
I wish that I could witness
All your joy and all your pain
But until my moment comes I'll say
I, I did it all
I, I did it all
I owned every second that this world could give
I saw so many places
And things that I did
Yeah, with every broken bone
I swear I lived
With every broken bone
I swear I lived
With every broken bone
I swear I...
I, I did it all
I, I did it all
I owned every second that this world could give
I saw so many places
And things that I did
With every broken bone
I swear I lived...
I swear I lived
