Taken Away Lyrics

Taken Away lyrics





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

Don抰 you forget

He would give anything 

Taken Away

For a working body



Don抰 throw your blesses away



I抳e been given love, given family

A warm clean bed for my head to lay

So many people aren抰 so lucky

Don抰 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



Don抰 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 I抦 not a human being with feelings

Love and compassion sitting here

Don抰 you dare feel sorry for me

Just give me a chance

His reality抯 cool

His mind stays strong

Hey I抦 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

Don抰 you forget

Taken Away

He would give anything 

Taken Away

For a working body

Taken Away

Don抰 throw your blesses away

Taken Away
