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