A cycle of pain repeats each day
Fingers trembling, breath worn away
Every reading of blood sugar demands the sting of steel
Silent despair in the pain they feel
Behind their smile, the fear remains
Another moment to endure the pain
Watching them, I quietly ask
"Will this pain ever fade at last?"
Tiny marks that never heal
Shadows of a pain concealed
No pain, no way
Without the hurt, they cannot stay
Trapped in time by drops they bleed
How much more do they need?
No pain, no way
Dreaming of a world set free
Where their needleless dream can be
A tiny prick steals peace away
Turns an ordinary life to gray
As weight of hope and fear collide
Freedom’s tied to needles inside
For those who live this endless strain
Bearing silent cries in vain
I hear their whispers in between
"Can we live in a needleless dream?"
No pain, no way
Without the hurt, they cannot stay
Trapped in time by drops they bleed
How much more do they need?
No pain, no way
Dreaming of a world set free
Where their needleless dream can be
Will light and waves replace the sting?
Stop the tears that suffering brings?
If tomorrow’s touch is kind
Maybe then, their hands will find
No pain, no way
Without the hurt, they cannot stay
Trapped in time by drops they bleed
How much more do they need?
No pain, no way
Dreaming of a world set free
Where their needleless dream can be
In a needleless dream
Quietly, they wait for hope unseen
