thousand passerbys walk on |
|
his luxuries of life have been taken away |
|
i wish someone would stop me |
|
every time that i complain |
|
be grateful in every way (taken away) |
|
don't you forget |
|
he would give anything (taken away) |
|
a working body |
|
don't throw your blessings away |
|
i've been given love given family |
|
a warm clean bed for my head to lay |
|
so many people arn't so lucky |
|
don't forget to give thanks and praise |
|
be grateful in every way (taken away) |
|
he would give anything |
|
for a working body (taken away) |
|
a split second |
|
don't throw your blessings away |
|
truly grateful for each and every day |
|
i get on my knees to give thanks and praise |
|
go |
|
budapest hungary nineteen ninty one |
|
i met a boy named janos |
|
confined to a wheelchair with multiple schlorosis |
|
his only mobility |
|
based solely upon the movements of his chin |
|
but he had so much to teach me |
|
when i showed him some friendship |
|
when i stopped to talk |
|
he said it really hurts |
|
when people look past you |
|
like i'm not a human being with feelings |
|
love and compassion sitting here |
|
don't you dare feel sorry for me |
|
just give me a chance |
|
his reality's cool |
|
his mind stays strong |
|
hey i'm alive |
|
thousand passerbys walk on |
|
his luxuries of life have been taken away |
|
i wish someone would stop me |
|
every time that i complain |
|
(taken away) |
|
don't you forget (taken away) |
|
he would give anything (taken away) |
|
a working body (taken away) |
|
don't throw your blessings away (taken away) |
