I'm supposed
to go to my doctor
today
G-d only knows
what he'll say
I need my meds
and to talk
to him
my condition
is not improving
he'll say

It's raining
and nasty
my neck is hurting
I need to go
even if it
kills me

To sit in a car
will be very hard
but I really do need
to go

My prescriptions
have run out
I need more
the pain
is eating
me up

I need to go
I cannot postpone
Please G-d, get me there
today

I've tried very hard
to do
what he asked
I have been doing
so well

But I need more meds
than he's willing
to give
'cuz there ain't
no miracle
in sight

A little relief
is all I ask
my hopes will be
dashed
but I need to get
what I need

Please G-d
don't let me down
just get me there
safe and sound
and give me a chance
to breathe

I just need him
to understand
what I have
and not judge me
for being so ill

My condition is rare
and my case is bad
I cannot help
the way
I am
Please G-d
just help me
get there
and return home

I'm not asking
for much
just give me a dose
of the medications
I so badly need
I will go away
until next month
when I need to go
again
