For the record, here's the song Nutty linked to. -Joe Offer-
I CAN JUMP PUDDLES by Hugh and Tony Williams
Every day she moves me Steadily improves me Step by step she helps this body Do the things it could She never sees me labelled Young and disabled Sometimes she holds me in her arms Like any mother would And we don't need your tears We don't need to hear you cry I can't run like other children But we have some laughs when i try Book, chapter and pages Triumph comes in stages Step by precious step i count The things that I can do Now I can jump puddles, can you?
Out the door and through the hall Outside to the garden wall On a good day I can make them all Watch me as I do Across the floor and in a chair One step, two step, up the stair Climbing mountains everywhere 'Cos I can do that too Through the window I see people Running one by one Racing from the showers But then I smile when they come Everywhere there are places With empty hearts and faces Maybe they don't have the joy Of things that I can do Now I can jump puddles, can you?
In streets and parks and places There are staring eyes and faces I know that she sees them But together we don't care Every road and avenue There's something in it, something new We can go exploring through A new world every day 'Cos I can ride a spaceship Or engine on the line I can be a cowboy fighting indians any time And when we've sailed the big lagoon Fought the rains of the big monsoon In the desserted streets of the afternoon Watch what I can do 'Cos I can jump puddles, can you?
