I'm paralyzed and things could change for you as well
|
you're not so bad off now, you can move anything you need.
|
I'm not this way because of an emergency I caused
|
at seventeen a guard perched above the chlorine floor
|
when I saw a hand raise up from just beneath the air,
|
a frantic move for help, I made an instant judgment call.
|
to dive- I arced my feet to dive, I broke the elemental line
|
to save a child. dive- into the shallow floor
|
the bottom scraped my palms and compressed my spine.
|
now I'm paralyzed while they just hope to make amends
|
the family and the kid who faked the drowning incident,
|
I've felt the hand of god and that's the last thing that I felt
|
at all below my back, I've lost the faith I thought I had
|
dive- I arced my feet to dive, I broke the elemental line
|
to save a child. dive- into the shallow floor
|
the bottom scraped my palms and compressed my spine.
