I have trouble with my words, they don't seem to come out clear but I want you all to know me, so I'll try. By asking one small question, it won't take up too much time, can you tell me, can you answer, "who am I"?

Oh I know I'm very different by the things I cannot do, why I find it hard to tell you my own name. So you wonder just who I am as you try to hide your eyes..but believe me, you and I are just the same.

Don't you marvel at a sunset as the rays shine through the clouds and the night begins to take over the sky? Don't you love the sound of laughter, and a lively, happy tune? Then we are not so different you and I.

When you see a mighty eagle as it spreads its graceful wings, don't you wish inside your heart that you could fly? And when you hear a crash of thunder, don't you tremble out of fear? Then we are not so different you and I.

Oh, I know my legs can't hold me and I cannot shake your hand and that looking at me makes you feel so strange. So you wonder just who I am, as you quickly pass on by. But believe me you and I are much the same.

Have you known the pain of sadness and the feeling that it brings? Yes, I'm sure there've been some times you've had to cry. And that loneliness is worst of all, I'm sure you will agree. Then we are not so different you and I.

Do you know the joy of friendship, of caring and of love? Somehow I get the feeling that you do. Then we are not so different, we are very much the same. You do know who I am ....... Yes, you do know who I am. I'm just like you......
