Because I Am Lame
Accept me thus, I heard them say, "
Because I am lame
Crawling on earth and I am in
Dearth of legs ".
Ease my pain I beseech
Fame and riches I seek, to let my work and walk fix
Good for me, God loves me
Has he does to you men.
If I didn't help my dream
Jobless I would forever be
Keep me some time for good,
Lame me, leap you, life paints it look
Mind me to save,
Never let me away
Often I was lame, always I am tame
People drived me away, put me,
Queued me on a lonely way
Rather than help my aiming dream.
Show me the care, enough to rise me again
Turn ears to my humble cries
Uneasy lies me, I never want this
Vain comes my way, cos they say I'm lame
Weary but hoping to leave this lane
Xylophone has ceased to play
You, not a single like my name
Zephyr, being like you, could never ease the pain...
For I am lame.
