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)
