Today, upon a bus
I saw a girl with golden hair
And wished I was a fair
When suddenly she rose to leave
I saw her hobble down the asile
She had one leg and wore a crutch
But as she passed, she smiled
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 a charm
I talked to him, he seemed so 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"
"You see." He said "I'm blind"
Oh God, forgive me when I whine
I have to eyes, the world is mine
I saw a child with eyes of blue
He stood and watched the others play
He did not know what to do so
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'd go
With eyes to see the sunset's glow
With ears to hear what I'd know
Oh God, forgive me when I whine
I've been blessed indeed. The world is mine
