All Straight Inside
You call me Cripple Johnny
And I guess that is my name,
But the cripple part is not my heart
My legs are all that's lame .
The Johnny part in me, Sir
Just a lively, wiggling boy
'cause a happy face doesn't need a brace
When its only banged up with Joy.
The inside part isn`t crippled
Thats the Johnny part, you know
Just the body and not the heart
Is all that did not grow.
There are lots of crippled Johnnys
Who have shaky little pegs
But up to date inside they're straight
They just have crooked legs.
Of course all crippled Johnnys
and all crippled Marys too
Would like to run and have fun too
Like all well children do.
But when you are a cripple
You swallow all your pride
And what you lack in legs and back
You make it up inside.
You call me cripple Johnny
Well, the cripple part you see
But God above, in Father love
Made the Johnny soul in me.
Somewhere for Crippled Johnnys
Is a World of Wonders Great,
With bodies new..we will be like you
Because our souls are straight.
