LIKE OTHERS CAN

 MAN, 

to walk like you 

would be a dream come true 

yeah, my heart would no longer be blue 

and my legs would no longer be like pegs 

no, instead, they would be stronger

yeah, needing no one else 

to move them 

yeah, myself 

and God's breath 

will 

yeah, no longer will I...

have to lie still 

and wait 

for a gatekeeper 

yeah, no aides

downgrading

 my... 

willingness  

to try 

and do 

yeah, yearn...

for a turn 

at a brand new...

 body 

yeah, while still on this land 

of quicksand 

yeah, i wanna move...

like others can
