Resurrection Band Album: Mommy Don't Love Daddy Anymore Track: The Chair
The Chair Lyrics
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.
