	This is what a disabled child would say to his parents if they would listen.
	Lyrics he breeze blows through my window Carrying the scent of car fumes and the perfume of young girls Carrying also this inevitable smell Of death and of life that doesn't stop for those who can't keep up This scent is carried to me as I slumber nearby It comes through to me in dreams that make vague promises of what I could have You rush into the room to shut the window Fearing that I'll stir in my sleep and struggle once again against the arms that surround me bury me So many arms that surround me Thousands from which I try to break free They promise to me serenity and peace But if I tried to move they'd pull further down Arms of this disease, arms of my own fear Arms of my parents who pass on their definition of limitation and survival I know you mean well, you mean to keep me safe But physical well being sometimes pushes happiness down You tried to build me a cushioned paradise But you forgot to tell me that there's a cage underneath One must take a chance and pay a price I'm willing to accept the consequences of my failures and my achievements The world is calling to me something in the air that I must answer Ssomething in the air that I must answer Answer I recognize what I can't do I also know there is so much that I can If you keep me padded surrounded by this blanket I will be safe but my soul will suffocate And I will just exist Go ahead decide for me what I will be But you can never hide who I am and that I have needs Needs beyond breathing and keeping warm Well beyond what you could give me here You have no lives of your own so you keep mine in order denying what we have in ourselves is the easiest thing You keep trying to tell me that the sun will burn me But I must find out for myself how warm its rays really are You tried to build a world for me that kept me happy But the sunset is so beautiful and my moon is soon to rise Where your wall ends my world begins If you'll excuse me I have a universe to drink
