The Chair
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.
We won't understanding not pity
We need love not occassional headlines
We've been used and 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 food is my medicine reality hell
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.
We won't understanding not pity
We need love not occassional headlines
We've been used and abused and aborted for years
And I've learned not to expect respect for my tears
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 react around me
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 react around me
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 have 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 love and following you
Giving love and following you
I'm so glad you care
Let my love flow free from this chair.
