| More Than a Number More than a number Living being with hopes and dreams Search for compassion Arrogant power Runs rampant in hospitals Recapture control Say no to doctors Endless rounds of testing this Leads to testing that More than a number Living being with hopes and dreams Search for compassion What they don't tell you If the treatment doesn't help Often it kills you Just one of many Paper death certificates Adorn someone's desk More than a number Living being with hopes and dreams Search for compassion Sterile and lifeless Months and years given to grief Instant of kindness Reach out to hold you Start to live your life again Time travels forward More than a number Living being with hopes and dreams Search for compassion The walking wounded Inevitable next time Visit the doctor The look in their eyes Take a number and you wait Hoping for kindness More than a number Living being with hopes and dreams Search for compassion Capture the moment Writing your observations To share with others Strength in those numbers Embrace and hold each other So you aren't alone More than a number Living being with hopes and dreams Search for compassion Make a difference Look to comfort your neighbor Love will give you faith For, what is power? No one can control your soul Unless you consent More than a number Living being with hopes and dreams Search for compassion So, mister doctor And all health care providers With no compassion Remember my words Your destiny may find you Alone and hurting More than a number Living being with hopes and dreams Search for compassion Will your doctor care? Or will you reap what you sow? I believe I know.... I wish you good health All the days of your long life So you don't suffer More than a number Living being with hopes and dreams Search for compassion The pain you have caused Neglecting my dear father Who trusted you so I'll not believe you And I'll fight for my mother And always question More than a number Living being with hopes and dreams Search for compassion A pain in your neck So I'm loudly requiring Attention and skill You see my story Cannot have a happy end Not just a number More than a number Living being with hopes and dreams Search for compassion I visit my dad Near a pine tree on a hill Thanks to all your care More than a number More than just someone's father They killed my father Marker 649 On the stone in the graveyard Not just a number.... ..died that day. |
