“IT’S NOT THAT BAD”

THERE’S SOMETHING IN LIFE I’VE ALWAYS FEARED

FOR PRESUMPTUOUS REASONS

LIVING FROM A WHEELCHAIR

WITHOUT FOOTBALL FOR LIFE

I FELT I JUST COULDN’T COPE

BUT NOW I KNOW

WHERE THERE’S A WILL IN LIFE

YOU CAN FIND HOPE

I FOUND THAT IN MY LIFE I CAN WIN

EVEN FROM A WHEELCHAIR

I OWE A GREAT DEAL OF GRATITUDE

TO THE FACILITY THAT I’M IN

BEING STRAIGHT TO THE POINT

NOT BE TOO DRAMATIC OR OVER EXAGGERATE

UNIVERSAL INSTITUTE MEANS GREAT

I’VE LEARNED NOT TO THINK ABOUT THINGS IN MY LIFE I USED TO HAVE

TO MAKE IT EASIER ON MY MIND

BECAUSE LIVING FROM A WHEELCHAIR IS NOT THAT BAD

UNTIL I CAN SEE YOU

THROUGH ALL THE DARKNESS I’M COMPLETELY BLIND

I HAVE NOTHING BUT MEMORIES TO EASE MY MIND

HOPING ONE DAY YOU I WILL FIND

MEMORIES OF YOU KEEP MY MIND PONDERING

I HAVE TO SEE YOU AGAIN TO STOP ME FROM ALL THIS WONDERING

JUST THE THOUGHT OF YOU BRINGS TO MY FACE A VERY BIG SMILE

YOUR BEAUTY MAKES ME WONDER

IN YOUR PAST LIFE YOU WERE THE QUEEN OF EGYPT

OR SHOULD I SAY THE QUEEN OF THE NILE

LIFE WITHOUT YOU MAKES ME FEEL SORT OF ENTRAPPED

OR IT’S LIKE I’M CONFINED

TO NOT ACKNOWLEDGE YOUR BEAUTY I HAVE TO BE COMPLETELY BLIND

NOTHING BUT BEAUTIFUL MEMORIES TO GET ME THROUGH

THAT WILL HAVE TO HOLD ME OVER

UNTIL I CAN SEE YOU
