🕊️ You Should Have Rung the Bell | A Song for Khải
In loving memory of my brother Khải, who fought a long, hard battle with cancer.

This song was written to honor his quiet strength, his courage, and the love he left behind. It’s for anyone who has walked the long road of hope and heartbreak. For those who waited for the moment their loved one would ring the bell — and instead had to say goodbye.

Khải rang the bell once, and we believed he had won. But when he was sent home for hospice after 53 days in the hospital, there was no bell… no celebration… only silence.

This song carries that silence. And it rings for him now.

If you’ve lost someone to cancer — if you’ve felt that ache of unfinished victory — I hope this brings you comfort, remembrance, and love.

💔 You are not alone.
🔔 You are the bell.

You Should Have Rung the Bell

[Verse 1]
They let you go without a sound
No cheering crowd, no arms around
Fifty-three days, you gave your best
Then they sent you home to rest

[Verse 2]
The first time, I watched you raise your hand
A tiny bell, a brave young man
You smiled like you had won it all
But this time, there was no call

[Chorus]
You should have rung the bell again
You should have heard the world commend
The way you fought with quiet grace
The way you lit that sterile place
They may have missed it, but I won’t forget
You deserved more than silence and regret

[Verse 3]
Now every breeze feels like your breath
Each golden hour, your gentle step
And though you slipped past what I knew
I carry all that shone in you

[Chorus]
You should have rung the bell again
But I will sing what might have been
For every day you stood so tall
Even when your body stalled
You didn’t lose. You rose above
And left this world wrapped in our love

[Outro]
So I’ll be the bell… I’ll be the bell…
You rang it once. I’ll ring it well.
