Lyrics:

you must know someone like him
who was tall and strong and lean
with a body like a greyhound
and a mind so sharp and keen
but his heart, just like a laurel
grew twisted round itself
till almost everything he did
brought pain to someone else

its not just what youre born with
its what you choose to bear
its not how big your share is
its how much you can share
its not the fights you dreamed of
its those you really fought {ah-wah}
its not what youve been given
its what you do with what youve got

whats the use of two strong legs
if you only run away
and whats the use of the finest voice
if youve nothing good to say now, ah
whats the use in strength and muscle
if you only push and shove
and whats the use of two good ears
if you cant hear those you love

oh whats the use of two strong legs
if you only run away
and whats the use of the finest voice
hah-ee-ah, hah-ee-ah
whats the use in strength and muscle
if you only push and shove
and whats the use of two good ears
if you cant hear those you love

between those who use their neighbours
and those who use the cane
between those in constant power
and those in constant pain
between those who run to glory
and those who cannot run
tell me which ones are the cripples
and which ones touch the sun?

which ones touch the sun
