The Heart That Would Not Quit

Have you heard of the man Whose eyes were jabbed out with razor sharp knives And he still sees the world even though he's blind? Have you heard of the woman Whose ears were destroyed by an unfortunate illness And she still hears her peers even though she's deaf? Have you heard of the man Whose voice was lost by ways cruel and brute And he still speaks the truth even though he's mute Have you heard of the woman Who was struck by lightning and electrified And she still moves the world even though she's paralyzed? Have you heard of the man Who was stabbed seven times and took a shot to the head And his heart continues to beat even though he's dead?
