DANCE WITH MY DAUGHTER 2006 music/lyrics Wayne Carpenter For all the kids at Walter Reed Army Hospital

I thought it was over
When I opened my eyes
Battered and broken,
Barely alive
They say I?m going home to my family and friends
But when can I dance with my daughter again

My legs they ain?t moving
And it?s plain to see
I won?t be the same man
That I used to be
Doctor, I?m asking you now as my friend,
When can I dance with my daughter again

I want to dance with my daughter
Run with my son
Make love to a woman
When the cool evening comes
Swim in the peaceful blue waters again
Hey Lord, let me dance with my daughter again

They say fortune is blind,
And freedom ain?t free
The others weren?t always
As lucky as me
Don?t try and tell me that this is the end
Cause I want to dance with my daughter again

I want to dance with my daughter
Run with my son
Make love to a woman
When the cool evening comes
Swim in the peaceful blue waters again
Hey Lord, let me dance with my daughter
Come on Lord let me dance with my daughter
Lord let me dance with my daughter again
