On the grass
For paralyzed children
Oh sweet laya... you little darling
rain drops in sun...
are still shinning
you ... in wheelchair...
cannot stand up
even not strong enough
...to hold up a cup
your eyes urging...
to run on the grass
though your feet ...are as cold as ice
frustrated sitting ...looking out all day
cry out ...what can make you gay
oh dear sweet ...
can’t tolerate all of your sorrows
let’s all hope ... for bright tomorrows
trying to swing ... up to the sky
with no success ...
your eyes asking why
we need to find...
ways of making you to laugh
no doubt with you...
life has been so rough
oh sweet darling... you are in our arms
never lose hope...
on the humanists charms
life in smile ...will fade all sorrows
never forget...
life has valleys ... but also barrows
