I'm paralysed and things could
you can move anything you need
change for you as well
you're not so bad off now
I'm not this way because of an
emergency I caused
when I saw a hand raise up
at seventeen a guard perched
from just beneath the air
above the chlorine floor
a frantic move for help
I made an instant judgment call

to dive--I arced my feet to dive
I broke the elemental line to save a child

dive--into the shallow floor
and compressed my spine
the bottom scraped my palms
now I'm paralysed while they just
the family and the kid

move to make amends
who faked the drowning incident
and all below my back
I've felt the hand of god and that's
the last thing that I felt
I've lost the faith I thought I had

to dive- I arced my feet to dive
the bottom scraped my palms
I broke the elemental line to save a child
and compressed my spinedive- into the shallow floor
