The other day I got an email, I almost didn't read it But something caught my eye right before I could delete it It was bold and underlined, "Please Read" was the title Followed by "Jake you are my idol" It said and I quote, my name is Nikki and I used to be a dancer Till the day the doctor diagnosed me with cancer So I said goodbye to all the hair on my head And hello to my hospital bed Yeah see I was just a normal girl, it happened so fast There were so many days that I thought would be my last However the fight was tough, and the battle was long But I felt strong when I listened to your songs You were always there for me, you helped my heart beat You were my only friend, kept you on repeat I thank God for you every single night 'Cause believe it or not, you saved my life I've met a million people, been in million places Shoke million hands, seen a million faces I've had a million lows and a million more highs No I haven't made a million, but I've touched a million lives I've met a million people, been in million places Shoke million hands, seen a million faces I've had a million lows and a million more highs No I haven't made a million, but I've, but I've Yeah the mailman knocked, said it was for me Handed me a box, sent from Tennessee Written on the top "for Jakes eyes only" Inside was a journal and letter that he wrote me It said my name is Dillon I'm in 7th grade I'm ridiculed and picked on almost everyday Yeah they push me in the halls, in between my classes Yesterday they took my books then broke my glasses I got no one to talk to, its like I don't exist Sometimes I wonder if I was gone, would I be missed? But let me tell you the real reason for this letter You've helped me through it all, you've helped me feel better You're words gimme confidence, your message is inspire me You help me find my inner strength deep inside of me Through all the bad times, you helped me find the light Believe it or not, you saved my life I've met a million people, been in million places Shoke a million hands, seen a million faces Had a million lows and a million more highs No I haven't made a million but I've touched a million lives Meet a million people, been in million places Shoke a million hands, seen a million faces Had a million lows, and a million more highs No I haven't made a million but I've, but I've I was sittin' at my table at dinner the other night When I noticed a little girl sittin' to my right She was lookin' at me like she knew me, I guess she did 'Cause then she walked right up to me and then she said My name is Sami and I swear that I'm your biggest fan I think she even had my name written on her hand She said me and my brother used to listen to you every day Until last year, when he passed away I'll never forget seein' my parents cry When they got a call sayin' that their son had died Man I wish that he was here now, you were his favorite He had your mixtape and he never stopped playin' it Your music gives me a feeling that I just can't describe It's like I got my brother back and he's still alive I pray for both of you, every single night 'Cause believe it or not, you saved my life I've met a million people, been in million places Shoke a million hands, seen a million faces Had a million lows, and a million more highs No I haven't made a million, but I've touched a million lives Met a million people, been in million places Shoke a million hands, seen a million faces Had a million lows, and a million more highs No I haven't made a million, but I've, but I've Now let me turn the table, and talk to you I had a dream but your the reason that it's coming true Yeah fans I've had some dark days, when the sun don't shine But you always reminded me that I would be fine Cause when no else cared, you believed in my vision And now I got an army coming with me on my mission I thank God for all of you, every single night 'Cause believe it or not, you saved my life
