I�m down here, in this wheelchair
Please, don�t go away
I don�t bite, please stay
I need a friend, someone who won�t leave
My world is this chair, it�s very lonely
Maybe we could talk for a little while
I�ll try to be silly, and make you smile
We could share a laugh or even a cry
It might be fun let�s give it a try
For I am a person, just like you
I have wants and needs, and desires too
And just like you I can love and feel
Even though I walk with these four wheels
