Today, I saw a girl with golden hair,
I looked at her and sighed and wished I was as fair,
When suddenly she rose to leave,
I saw her hobble down the aisle,
She had one leg and used a crutch,
But as she passed, she passed a smile,
I have 2 legs, the world is mine,
Oh, God, forgive me when I whine...
I stopped to buy some candy,
The lad who sold it had such charm,
I talked with him a while, he seemed so very glad,
If I were late, it'd do no harm,
And as I left, he said to me,
"I thank you, you've been so kind,
It's nice to talk with folks like you,
You see," he said, "I'm blind." ,
I have 2 eyes, the world is mine,
Oh, God, forgive me when I whine...
Later while walking down the street,
I saw a child with eyes of blue,
She stood and watched the others play,
It seemed she knew not what to do,
I stopped a moment and then I said,
"Why don't you join the others, dear?"
She looked ahead without a word,
And then I knew, she couldn't hear,
I have 2 ears, the world is mine,
Oh, God, forgive me when I whine...
With feet to take me where I'd go...
With eyes to see the sunset's glow...
With ears to hear what I would know...
I've been blessed indeed, the world is mine...
Oh, God, forgive me when I whine....
