Can You Wiggle Your Toes
By Garnet Profit
Can You Wiggle Your Toes
Is woe is me, the life that you lead
Sit and complain, find someone to blame
Compare what you got, to what you have not
It’s never your time, always left behind
Say your life is in tatters, nothing else matters
Let opportunity pass, wanting greener grass
Nothing seems fair, not getting your share
As you sit there and moan, let me bring it on home
Have you had that day,
From the bed where you lay
When those around you pray,
And you hear them say
Can you wiggle your toes?
Can you wiggle your toes?
And …………the answer is no
The answer is no
Can you breathe on your own, is your mind still at home
(Can you wiggle your toes?)
Can you see the sun rise, can you hear your kids cry
(Can you wiggle your toes?)
Do you still have a voice, are decisions your choice
(Can you wiggle your toes?)
Have you been mangled by war, get rolled to the door
(Can you wiggle your toes?)
Was your child shot by a fool, for going to school
(Can you wiggle your toes?)
Do you have the big C, the scourge of TB
(Can you wiggle your toes?)
Has Lou hasn’t trapped you inside, captured your pride
(Can you wiggle your toes?)
Are there walls where you stare, in a diaper you wear
(Can you wiggle your toes?)
Have you had that day,
From the bed where you lay
When those around you pray,
And you hear them say
Can you wiggle your toes?
Can you wiggle your toes?
And …………the answer is no
The answer is no
If woe is me, is the life that you lead
Sit and complain, find someone to blame
(Can you wiggle your toes?)
Compare what you got, to what you have not
It’s never your time, always left behind
(Can you wiggle your toes?)
Say your life is in tatters, nothing else matters
Let opportunity pass, wanting greener grass
(Can you wiggle your toes?)
Nothing seems fair, not getting your share
As you sit there and moan, let me bring it on home
(Can you wiggle your toes?)
Have you …..had that day,
From the bed where you lay
When those around you pray,
And you hear them say
Can you wiggle your toes?
Can you wiggle your toes?
And …………the answer is no
The answer is no
Can you wiggle your toes?
Can you wiggle your toes?
