Thirty years
A prisoner in here
Bedridden
Legs leaden
Arms numb
Fingers dumb
But through the frailty of a body that failed
You were strong as they come
As strong as they come
As strong as they come
As strong as they come
You never had to move to move us
You never had to dance to make us dance
You never had to lift a finger
To bring us all together
Sleep well
Regret nothing
What you couldn't do was nothing
Compared to what you could.
