[00:00:00] Handicap And Equality (2006 Digital Remaster) - Peter Hammill

[00:00:19] All men are born equal at

[00:00:23] The moment they arrive

[00:00:28] Check the limbs and

[00:00:30] Senses we require to survive

[00:00:36] But some come deaf

[00:00:38] And dumb and blinded

[00:00:40] Some have damage to their brains:

[00:00:45] Parents constantly reminded

[00:00:50] That they'll never play the

[00:00:53] Normal children's games

[00:00:57] They may not be normal

[00:00:59] But they're people just the same

[00:01:05] If Christ had been born

[00:01:07] Defective to fulfil the Father's plan

[00:01:13] Would he be as easily accepted

[00:01:18] As God made man

[00:01:21] Or does the human value alter

[00:01:27] In the crippled human frame

[00:01:31] Though the tongue and fingers falter

[00:01:36] Must we shut them out

[00:01:37] And shut them up

[00:01:39] And shut the case and

[00:01:40] Whisper 'such a shame '

[00:01:44] That's how we shut them away

[00:02:46] Most of us are lucky

[00:02:50] Free from accidents at birth

[00:02:54] But their victims share our

[00:02:58] Right to the inheritance of earth

[00:03:03] For all their grunts their stumps

[00:03:06] Their tumours their eternal wheelchairs

[00:03:13] We're the freaks we're the inhumans

[00:03:17] If we close our eyes and turn aside pretend

[00:03:21] That if we do they'll not be there

[00:03:25] They've got to face it so we've got to face it

[00:03:42] Still they've got to live with it

[00:03:45] In a worlds we supposedly share
