Touching Moment As A Firefighter, Battling Cancer, Sang “The Dance” From Hospital Bed
There are moments when a song touches the heart so deeply that it becomes unforgettable, especially when sung by an amazing person at a special place in a poignant time.
Imagine someone, despite being terminally ill, finding the strength to sing from their hospital bed. It takes a remarkable person to do that.
Not everyone can remain optimistic and full of life when facing death, but Marc Wright did it beautifully. He sang Garth Brooks’ “The Dance” that melted millions of hearts around the world.
Marc Wright, a firefighter for 25 years with the Columbia, Mo. Fire Department had always been brave. His three-year battle with cancer and his final performance revealed even more of his courage.
Unwilling to give up just yet, Marc sang Garth Brook’s classic “The Dance”, accompanied by a friend and his acoustic guitar. According to his loved ones, Marc loved to sing.
In his final performance, the lyrics “Yes my life is better left to chance/I could have missed the pain but I’d of had to miss the dance” echoed his strength and spirit.
“He was an amazing man and as you can see had a beautiful voice,” his sister Michele Wright told FOX 46 in a previous interview.
After Michele posted the video, it quickly went viral and even got back to Garth Brooks himself.
In an episode of Facebook Live stream series Inside Studio G, the musician spoke about how emotionally powerful the performance was. “This guy gets it, everyone in the room gets it,” Brooks said, stating that he’s never heard the song performed so touchingly.
