  • 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
