Walks of Lie-Fe

heartless and you can forgive
blind eyes and you can see
deaf and you can hear
mute and you can speak
a bully and you fear
no legs and you can walk
no hands and you can feel
christian upbringing and you don't beleive
educated and you can't read
skilled and you don't work
bold and you are ashamed
a mother and you are childless
taught and you don't know
loved and you can't love
born and you....

walks of lie-fe
