about

My Mum contracted polio when she was three years old. She was told that she wouldn't be able to do many, many things. Her life's mission was to prove all of the doubters wrong. My father's mum said that he wouldn't get a job in the light-service because of Mum's disability. She was wrong. This is my Mum's story.

lyrics

Five to one said that I'd fade away as snow settled over the North land,
I just spend my life inside an iron lung,
No hop, skip and jumping with those legs,
But my father sold me around the world,
Against the doctor's advice,
Now I waltz Matilda around the tower and you'll never see me fall over,

Jackie's mother said stay away,
That girl will be a burden,
They'll be no job for you out on the light,
And she'll bear you no children,
With a hopscotch rhythm I'll make the top,
The pendulum swings from side to side,
A zigzag path carved into the cliff,
And that woman left back on the mainland,

I see the future in my children's eyes as Summer eases to Autumn,
With the rising sun the sea birds all take wing as Spring blossoms out of Winter,
Though there's an extra load inside my pack I'll never break my stride,
Seizing the moment with both hands I don't expect any favours,
And there's one more story I wanted to tell,
But I will wait until the birds have flown over.
