Ballad Of A Paralysed Citizen
I'm paralyzed and things could
Change for you as well
You're not so bad off now
You can move anything you need
I'm not this way because of
An emergency I caused
At seventeen a guard
Perched above the chlorine floor
When I saw a hand raise up
From just beneath the air
A frantic move for help
I made an instant judgment call
To Dive
I arced my feet to dive
I broke the elemental line
To save a child
Dive
Into the shallow floor
The bottom scraped my palms
And compressed my spine
Now I'm paralyzed
While they just hope to make amends
The family and the kid
Who faked the drowning incident
I've felt the hand of god
And that's the last thing that I felt
At all below my back
I've lost the faith I thought I had
To Dive
I arced my feet to dive
I broke the elemental line
To save a child
Dive
Into the shallow floor
The bottom scraped my palms
And compressed my spine
Change for you as well
You're not so bad off now
You can move anything you need
I'm not this way because of
An emergency I caused
At seventeen a guard
Perched above the chlorine floor
When I saw a hand raise up
From just beneath the air
A frantic move for help
I made an instant judgment call
To Dive
I arced my feet to dive
I broke the elemental line
To save a child
Dive
Into the shallow floor
The bottom scraped my palms
And compressed my spine
Now I'm paralyzed
While they just hope to make amends
The family and the kid
Who faked the drowning incident
I've felt the hand of god
And that's the last thing that I felt
At all below my back
I've lost the faith I thought I had
To Dive
I arced my feet to dive
I broke the elemental line
To save a child
Dive
Into the shallow floor
The bottom scraped my palms
And compressed my spine
