	Story Behind the Song Each Cancer Cell This song was written shortly after the too-early death of a beautiful friend of mine. It is an affirmation that deep friendship can exist between a man and a woman and of cold rage at the industrial age disease that cut it short. Lyrics EACH CANCER CELL I'm sure that each cancer cell is a swell individual Probably has a family, just like you and me Might live in a tumor, kind of like New York or Vancouver Or move out to the country Where the flesh is fresh and pretty   Now each cancer cell by itself might seem quite harmless But you get 'em in a bunch and they're as deadly as can be They like to celebrate their current growth And growth potential And the outcome of their virulence They sompletely fail to see   Their egos, like their pocketbooks Expand and keep expanding But they fail in understanding what the sad result must be They will grow until they bust Insisting to the last, they must And that pitiful, blind lust Migh be the end of them and thee and me   What if the earth's a mighty being Might we be its little brain cells Not doing our job very well...not caring for our bod Is our endless search for gain a kind of cancer of the brain And will the earth fade and remain. The merest shadow of a god   They say the power of the mind can cure cancer in the body And I sincerely pray to God that she and he will help us find The awareness and the will to see that cancers always kill And the only way to stop them Is to profoundly change our minds   I'm sure that each cancer cell is a swell individual Charming, probably talented, efficient to the nth degree But with their buddies hand in hand They move like locusts 'cross the land And a stubble is left standing Where the green earth used to be
