Imagine
Imagine if my legs weren't there
Imagine if I had no hair
What would I do if I couldn't talk
What would happen then I ask?
What would it be like if I couldn't hear
Could I drive a car if I couldn't steer
What would I do if I had no arms
What would life be like I ask?
What would you do if you couldn't see
What would your life really be?
What would you do if you couldn't walk
You couldn't hear or you couldn't talk?
We take for granted all these things
Whilst still wishing we had wings
X-ray vision and psychic powers too
But tell me, what would you do?
Without your limbs you couldn't move
Without you lips you couldn't choose
Without a language you understand
You'd probably keep your head in the sand.
Where would you be if you couldn't paddle
Or hold yourself upon a saddle
What would you have if you couldn't reach
What would you do then, I ask?
What would you do if you couldn't read
How would I know what it is that you need
What would you do if you had a dream but things are harder than they seem
Who can you really call a friend?
On who can you truly depend...
When life goes around it's last bend
What does it mean in the end?
Take me or leave me for life isn't fair.
