Anne Wood
The Traveller
Clickety-click, clackety-clack,
The train is rolling along the track
I'm off to London, first time in years
I'm so excited, all eyes and ears.
My friends are with me to smooth the way
They know what to do, I don't have to say.
I'm in my chair, the brakes are on tight
No slipping or sliding, I'm feeling alright.
Life is all steps when you're in a wheelchair,
London's so near, but I could never get there
Restaurants, theatres were all out of reach
When you're disabled you can't access the beach.
Now ramps and slopes are the order of the day,
They make life so much easier, they pave the way
To a more fulfilled life, there's so much to see
There's a world out there, just waiting for me.
Pretty soon we're there, in no time at all,
Can't wait to get off, gonna have a ball.
We leave the station and give a shout:
Look out London, Anne's out and about!
