Lyrics

[Verse 1]
After surgery the journey's just begun
Most survivors live their lives with hearts that run
Active days ahead with careful monitoring
Quality of life through proper doctoring
But some restrictions help you stay on track
Moderate exercise keeps your heart intact

[Chorus]
Five pillars standing strong for life ahead
Active living, exercise with care instead
Neuro follow-up, psychosocial support
ACHD transition - make that switch report
Quality of life with truncus type two
Five pillars guide you in all that you do

[Verse 2]
Recreational sports are generally fine
But competitive athletics cross the line
Your heart needs limits though your spirit's free
Moderate activities are the key
Swimming, walking, cycling at your pace
Listen to your body, find your space

[Chorus]
Five pillars standing strong for life ahead
Active living, exercise with care instead
Neuro follow-up, psychosocial support
ACHD transition - make that switch report
Quality of life with truncus type two
Five pillars guide you in all that you do

[Verse 3]
Twenty-two q eleven point two deletion
Means your brain needs extra attention
Neurodevelopmental checks along the way
Learning differences may come to stay
Early intervention helps you succeed
Following up on every special need

[Verse 4]
Living with a chronic heart condition
Needs emotional support and recognition
Psychosocial help throughout your years
Managing the stress, addressing fears
Family support and counseling too
Mental health matters as much as you do

[Chorus]
Five pillars standing strong for life ahead
Active living, exercise with care instead
Neuro follow-up, psychosocial support
ACHD transition - make that switch report
Quality of life with truncus type two
Five pillars guide you in all that you do

[Bridge]
Adolescence brings a crucial change
Adult congenital care arrange
Pediatric days are left behind
ACHD specialists you'll find
Transition planning starts today
Preparation paves the way

[Outro]
Five pillars strong, your life foundation
Active monitoring across the nation
Exercise wisdom, neuro care
Psychosocial support always there
ACHD transition when you're grown
Quality of life you've always known
