Paralyzing facts, countless diseases
Semi-mobile, semi-useless, sub-human
So many startled eyes say only an occasional ray of light
But feel free to subtract any ray of hope
Disabled confined, labeled and shelved
Minus limbs, minus movement, minus worth
So sorry they say, but they forget me
Once a year they buy themselves that right
~Chorus~
We w-on’t, understanding not pity
We need l-ove not occasional headlines
We’ve been used, abused and aborted for years
And I’ve learned not to expect, respect for my tears
Regular check-ups, needles and charts
The nodding of heads, and the shedding of hearts
My legs are defenseless, this chair is my cell
My f-ood is my medicine, reality hell
Disabled confined
Labeled and shelved
So sorry they say, but they forget me
Once a year they buy themselves that right
~Chorus~
Sometimes I feel so removed
Lost in a maze of self-pity and dreams
No one regards me I just don’t belong
They don’t know how to act around me
(2X)
Until You came to me Lord I had so little to live for
‘Til You came to me Lord I had nowhere to turn
Jesus You alone. You’ve helped me to grow
Beyond my circumstance and despair
My suffering can’t compare to what You took willingly
My sacrifice nowhere near what You gave on that tree
I can see though I’m blind
Loving one at a time
There is so much, that I can do
Giving l-ove
And following You
