I have to watch you speak no longer can hear you cry for I lost only my hearing when everyone thought I would die Because they didn't understand and ignorance is bliss I had to help that poor girl out but that horrible gang tried to give death's kiss I never thought the girl I saw would share her time with mine but because I saved her life she is teaching me to sign Instead of getting sad and letting myself weep I lay myself down and drift into an empty soundless sleep.
