I Can Only Imagine 2

I found a song that saved me through time.

A song that opened my life up to things

I couldn't have possibly imagined.

It made me believe that...

That dreams do come true.

I dreamed of something good

with my dad before he died,

of being a good husband,

a good father,

of writing songs that could touch the hearts of millions

with the same hope that music gave to me.

And it all came true.

But what comes next

when you've gotten all your dreams?

After all the applause dies down

and the crowds go home,

is there life after the happily-ever-after?

When it all gets hard again,

when the pain never seems to go away?

What do you do when the only thing

in the whole world you have to hold on to

is a song?

Hey, Bart, the bus is here.

I just got Gracie down for a nap.

- - You about ready

to leave or no?

Ah.

Well, dang.

Bummer. I mean, I was really hoping

to see Sam before I left.

I wonder where he is.

I was gonna let him borrow my Nano.

Loaded up some sweet new U2,

- some Jars... - Whoa.

Big band.

- - Oh, well.

Too bad he's not here.

Yes,

that is too bad.

Hey, big man.

You wanna talk about it?

Why do you always miss the good stuff?

- Buddy,

your dad's out working for us, Sam.

But yeah, I'll miss him, too.

I'll be back in two days, okay?

And then you and me, maybe we could... Oh.

What should we listen to?

Here, you pick.

I Can Only Imagine by MercyMe,

one of the most beloved songs of all time

shows no signs of slowing down.

As MercyMe's surprise hit

I Can Only Imagine shook the world

and went double platinum.

Here it is, by popular demand,

the song that everyone is talking about,

coming in this week at number one.

I Can Only Imagine.

This group reached number four

on the Adult Contemporary radio charts

and soared to number one in Christian Radio.

Here's MercyMe.

All right.

It's such an honor to announce the nominees

for the best Christian Artist of the year.

You boys better have that money ready.

If we win, I'm doin' it.

What exactly are we doing, Bartholomew?

He's gotta use whatever we write

in his speech.

And he can't look at it till he gets on stage.

I'm so not comfortable with this.

Shut up, Robby.

Oh, man, I hope we lose.

And the winner is.

MercyMe for I Can Only Imagine! Woo!

Who am I kiddin'?

I'm just a kid from Greenville, Texas,

you know.

I...

My meemaw used to say to me, she'd say, "Pickles..."

Pickles was her nickname for me.

- It's very endearing.

Um, and she would say.

"Sometimes, happily-ever-afters do come true."

But then she'd say, "Don't bet on it. Get a real job."

- You know? So... -

Um...

Meemaw, God is good. Dreams do come true.

Thank you so much, everyone. Have a great night.

All right. Easy money, boys. Easy money.

Ah, thank you.

- Ooh.

- Hey. Hi, I just thought

- I'd check in on ya. - We won.

Again? I'm so proud of you guys!

- Babe! That's awesome. - Yeah, we're gonna have

to take another box of these things to storage

if we keep winning.

I'm glad one of us is winning.

Sounds like World War III.

- That would somehow be easier. -

Hey, I know Sam wanted to talk to you.

Sam, you wanna talk to Daddy? Here you go.

- Hey, Dad. - Hey, Sam.

How's the party going?

Are you having fun, big man?

I barfed.

Is that right? Um...

I won the costume contest.

Oh, that's great, bud.

Ah, man, I bet you were a great Legolas.

Um, the bow and arrow, how's your aim?

I shot the white lamp and it broke

so Mommy took it away.

I never cared for that lamp.

All right, Sam. Say bye to Daddy.

Bye, Daddy. I love you.

I love you too, big man.

Hi. I'm back. I'm outta gas, man.

Hang in there, Shannon.

Just another tour, couple more albums

and we're gonna be set.

You know, I think that's what you said last tour.

Yeah, that's fair. Um...

And great. Someone gave Sam back his bow and arrow.

I gotta go. Love you, Millard.

You too, M...

I want you to go chase your dream.

And I want you to catch it.

I promise.

I caught my dream, Dad.

I miss you.

Hey, babe.

Bart?

- Shannon, what's going on? - I can't get Sam to wake up.

- What? - I can't get Sam to wake up!

Hey, baby, Mommy and Daddy are here, okay?

Coming through. - We're all right here for you.

You just need to keep breathing for me, okay?

Everything is gonna be okay. You're okay.

No, no, I've gotta...

Okay.

Hi.

- Hey! - I'm here, baby.

I'm here.

What, um...

What happened?

He had a, a seizure,

or something,

and now they can't get him to wake up.

I don't really know.

Bart, I'm scared.

- - I know, I know.

Me too.

Paging Dr. Lund, line 3.

Dr. Lund, line 3.

Mama, I'm thirsty.

Hi!

Baby!

Baby, hi!

Right. So we just

lower his sugar intake, and then what?

He's got to lose some weight or something, right?

No. Once again, that is Type 2 diabetes.

Your son has Type 1.

This insulin is life support.

Sam's glucose was 840.

That's 10 times the normal range.

There's another kid here

that's slightly higher than him

that we haven't been able to stabilize yet.

And if you would have gotten him here any later,

Sam would have been in the exact same position.

I wish it could be different,

but this is Sam's life now.

It's yours, too.

Do we have to, Daddy?

Yeah, buddy. Um...

I'm afraid we do.

I need your finger, okay?

Okay.

- Okay, bud.

Wait, wait, wait.

What do you do when you're scared?

I think everything's a little less scary

with a friend, right?

Watch me.

That's not so bad.

Okay?

It just stings a little bit.

You wanna pick out a song?

Okay.
