美国三兄妹组合We Three的一首遗言之歌唱哭了《美国达人》（America's Got Talent）现场所有观众，评委集体起立鼓掌（standing ovation）。歌词来自身患癌症的母亲去世前在日记中写下的对孩子们的话，感人至深。“我曾赋予你们生命，但此刻你们却将看着我的生命从眼前消失。”她说天堂并不遥远，而心依然与你们同在。

歌词：

Honey I thought you should know that I'm in a hurry
I've got to move up north, but it's just temporary
I really tried not to lie, but this burdens getting heavy
No, you can't come with me this time, you got your own destiny

When I look at you I see your beauty
Now my baby boy he's gonna lose me

But heavens not too far away, I know someday you'll visit
And I didn't think I'd go this way, can I please have one more minute

No honey I don't want to go, please know that I have to
Look how the cancer has grown, I think it's time I go home
I can still hear your voice, sounds just like it did
And I can still feel your hand, when it touches my skin

But heavens not too far away, I know someday you'll visit
And I didn't think I'd go this way, can I please have one more minute
I gave you life now you gotta watch it leave my eyes
But heavens not too far away, I know someday you'll visit

As death rattles my cage, I can hear their voices fading
Each breath getting harder, I can hear the tears coming from my daughter
And to her older brother, he's thinking back when he was younger
When he had a healthy mother, who asked him to take care of his little brother
And he's not really sure about life, or that how could any of this be right
But I know my babies they will be fine, cause they can talk to me anytime

Cause, Heavens not too far away, I know someday you'll visit
I didn't think I'd go this way, can I please have one more minute
I gave you life now you gotta watch it leave my eyes
But heavens not too far away, I know someday you'll visit

Honey I thought you should know, that I'm in a hurry
I've got a move up north, but it's just temporary
