Ignite Taken Away

thousand passerbys 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)

don't you forget

he would give anything (taken away)

a working body

don't throw your blessings away

i've been given love given family

a warm clean bed for my head to lay

so many people arn't so lucky

don't 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

don't throw your blessings away

truly grateful for each and every day

i get on my knees to give thanks and praise

go

budapest hungary nineteen ninty one

i met a boy named janos

confined to a wheelchair with multiple schlorosis

his only mobility

based solely upon 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 past you

like i'm not a human being with feelings

love and compassion sitting here

don't you dare feel sorry for me

just give me a chance

his reality's cool

his mind stays strong

hey i'm alive

thousand passerbys walk on

his luxuries of life have been taken away

i wish someone would stop me

every time that i complain

(taken away)

don't you forget (taken away)

he would give anything (taken away)

a working body (taken away)

don't throw your blessings away (taken away)
