about
This is a song written in the voice of a young girl with Rett Syndrome.
Rett is a genetic disorder that causes its young sufferers to slowly lose control of their bodies while otherwise continuing with normal intellectual development. The result is a child or young adult shut inside a body they are unable to control, often in pain, unable to stand, at times unable to eat or to breathe unassisted.
It is the worst thing and it must be stopped.
It CAN be stopped. Research has identified the location of the disorder in the genetic code and the development of a cure is underway.
This really is a problem that can be helped by throwing money at it.
So all the proceeds from this song will be donated to Reverse Rett, a charity that supports families living with Rett Syndrome, that funds research into measures to ease the symptoms of the illness and ultimately to find a cure.
lyrics
I have seen the world from in here
I know more about love
Than any sweet sixteen could tell you
You know me, I know you've seen that dancing in my eyes
And one day we'll wake up
And find out this has all been just a dream
If I could stand up, I'd run into your arms
If I could reach out, I would take your hand
If I could speak I'd say I've always loved you
And how I love you still
And if you can just hold on
One day I will
I have seen the world from in here
I don't ask for much
Maybe we could take a walk together
I think about how different everything would feel for me
Still lying in your arms
But this time because it's where I choose to be
If I could stand up, I'd run into your arms
If I could reach out, I would take your hand
If I could speak I'd say I've always loved you
And how I love you still
And if you can just hold on
One day I will
I have seen the world from in here
I know all about love
Because I had the finest teacher
If I could stand up, I'd run into your arms
If I could reach out, I would take your hand
If I could speak I'd say I've always loved you
And how I love you still
And if you can just hold on
If you can just hold on
One day I will
The Beast reached down into me and moved my legs and pumped my blood and if you haven’t felt this? I don’t want to bother to know you further.
Brilliant feel, over and over Baby Pants
