Ignite - 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't you forget

He would give anything

Taken Away

For a working body

Don't throw your blesses away

I've been given love, given family

A warm clean bed for my head to lay

So many people aren't so lucky

Don't 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't 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'm not a human being with feelings

Love and compassion sitting here

Don't you dare feel sorry for me

Just give me a chance

His reality's cool

His mind stays strong

Hey I'm 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't you forget

Taken Away

He would give anything

Taken Away

For a working body

Taken Away

Don't throw your blesses away

Taken Away
