A thousand passersby just 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
DonжЉ° you forget
He would give anything
Taken Away
For a working body

DonжЉ° throw your blesses away

IжЉіe been given love, given family
A warm clean bed for my head to lay
So many people arenжЉ° so lucky
DonжЉ° 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 later

DonжЉ° throw your blesses away

Truly grateful for each and every day
I get on my knees to give thanks and praise
Go

Budapest, Hungary 1991
I met a boy names Janos
Confined to a wheelchair with multiple sclerosis
His own mobility based
Solely on 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 right past you
Like IжЉ¦ not a human being with feelings
Love and compassion sitting here
DonжЉ° you dare feel sorry for me
Just give me a chance
His realityжЉЇ cool
His mind stays strong
Hey IжЉ¦ alive

A thousand passersby just walk on
His luxuries of life have been taken away
I wish someone would stop me
Every time that I complain

Taken Away
DonжЉ° you forget
Taken Away
He would give anything
Taken Away
For a working body
Taken Away
DonжЉ° throw your blesses away
Taken Away
