Iron Lung

I cannot move my body
No feeling in my toes
This capsule's breathing for me
A tube runs down my nose

My mother stays beside me
She sleeps here every night
She is my inspiration
To not give up the fight

They say I might get better
Play basketball someday
I dream of cold spring waters
Ride rockets to the Milky Way

I think I'm getting better
That's when the pain begins
It takes all spring, all summer
Sometimes I feel my limbs

My mother stays beside me
She sleeps here every night
She is my inspiration
To not give up the fight

They say I might get better
Play basketball someday
I dream of cold spring waters
Ride rockets to the Milky Way

I'm choking
No one's around
I'm choking
Starting to drown
I bang on the bars, can't scream, can't shout
The nurses came running
Before I escape to the mountains
They suction me out

The feeding tube's removed
It's time to break away
And my first taste of ginger ale
Yeah, my first taste of ginger ale
Stays with me to this day
