Name: The Prince, The Gimp
Duration: P00H03M23S
Description: For those who don't know us personally, Kevan is in a wheelchair and Zach has a psychosomatic limp (just like Dr. John Watson). There are moments when one shakes his fists at the heavens, metaphorically speaking; there are moments when one asks God why He allows pain and suffering, and then there are the moments when God answers back.

about

For those who don't know us personally, Kevan is in a wheelchair and Zach has a psychosomatic limp (just like Dr. John Watson). There are moments when one shakes his fists at the heavens, metaphorically speaking; there are moments when one asks God why He allows pain and suffering, and then there are the moments when God answers back.

lyrics

If I weren't strapped down to this throne,
I'd dance all over, God only knows.
I'd lose my crown and bloody my nose,
But at least they would say that I am free.
And isn't that what I'm supposed to be?
Said the young prince to the king.

'Cause you know David ran for miles,
And Samson tore down the walls.
Ehud and Shamgar were nearly gods.
But what can I do from this chair?
The things I'd say, but I wouldn't dare
When they start asking if You even care about me.

Well, my parents asked You to Your face
And You gave them an answer plain as day.
Said, there's nothing wrong with him anyway.
I gave him the legs he would need
To stand for the poor and the weak,
And I gave him the spine of a king.

And Mephibasheth, with his twisted feet,
He knew his place, right beside the King.
Yeah, that gimpy kid with shriveled legs
Dined with heroes and they all looked the same.
