Taken Away
A thousand passersby just 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
Donæ?° you forget
He would give anything
Taken Away
For a working body
Donæ?° throw your blesses away
Iæ?³e been given love, given family
A warm clean bed for my head to lay
So many people arenæ?° so lucky
Donæ?° 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 later
Donæ?° throw your blesses away
Truly grateful for each and every day
I get on my knees to give thanks and praise
Go
Budapest, Hungary 1991
I met a boy names Janos
Confined to a wheelchair with multiple sclerosis
His own mobility based
Solely on 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 right past you
Like Iæ?¦ not a human being with feelings
Love and compassion sitting here
Donæ?° you dare feel sorry for me
Just give me a chance
His realityæ?¯ cool
His mind stays strong
Hey Iæ?¦ alive
A thousand passersby just walk on
His luxuries of life have been taken away
I wish someone would stop me
Every time that I complain
Taken Away
Donæ?° you forget
Taken Away
He would give anything
Taken Away
For a working body
Taken Away
Donæ?° throw your blesses away
Taken Away
