So... What is Hemophilia?

Hemophilia is a group of hereditary genetic disorders that impair the body's ability to control blood clotting or coagulation, which is used to stop bleeding when a blood vessel is broken.

Hemophilia A is the most common type of this condition, affecting 1 in 5,000 to 10,000 males worldwide. Hemophilia B is less common; it affects 1 in 20,000 to 34,500 males worldwide.

LYRICS
(Verse 1)
The story starts when I was born.
The doctors said I was not the norm.
X chromosomes that are infected.
I get a cut - platelets can't detect it.

(Chorus)
I have a very rare disease.
I can't fall down or I'll scrape my knees.
If you find a cure, won't you set me free?
Hemophilia is killing me.

(Verse 2)
Plasma is one thing that makes up blood.
Deficiencies can cause your cuts to flood.
Got it from mom - no clotting factor 8.
Not good at sports - I guess it was fate.

(Chorus)
I have a very rare disease.
I can't fall down or I'll scrape my knees.
If you find a cure, won't you set me free?
Hemophilia is killing me.

(Verse 3)
If you're a male your odds are 1 in 5,000.
But don't get scared, this number is rounded.
Bleeding won't stop unless I get an infusion.
One time when I was three, I was riding my skateboard and I hit a rock and fell off and there was a pool of blood then my parents came running outside and there was a lot of confusion.
(Chorus)
I have a very rare disease.
I can't fall down or I'll scrape my knees.
If you find a cure, won't you set me free?
Hemophilia is killing me.
