Mobilize Mankind

Manta Ray Park

I can fly
I know I can
I've done it in my dreams

A Manta Ray
With wings spread wide
Flies up to play with me

He scoops me up
Wheelchair and all
And takes me for a ride

Where I can see
Only my abilities
And disabilities hide

So take my hand
But quickly now
So I don't have to wait

I want to learn
And read and write
I want to communicate

I want to play
And move around
My friends right by my side

"Let's go!"
"You first!"
"I'll meet you at the slide!"

Believe in me
Oh Mom and Dad
My teachers and therapists, too

Technology
Can help me shine
There's nothing I can't do!

Hip hip hurrah
Today I'll play
At Parque Mantaraya

Where Special Kids
With all their friends
Can truly learn to fly
