My New Set of Wheels

There you stand, and I see you stare

Thinking, poor dear, she's stuck in that chair.

But I'm not sad, I'm very happy because

I haven't forgotten the way it was.

You'd want to go shopping, all over town,

I was thinking but there's no place to sit down.

For you it's a snap, just to go to the store,

But for me the ordeal was more of a chore.

Now I can go wherever I please

I can shop in the mall with newfound ease,

Do all the things that have to be done,

And even go out and have some fun.

So, do you want to know how it really feels,

To be sitting here between these wheels?

Can you remember back that far,

When you got your very first car?

Well, that's how these wheels feel to me,

They don't hold me down, they set me free.

So, don't think all those pitiful things:

These aren't wheels, I think they're my wings.
