THE WORLD IS MINE
Today upon a bus I saw a girl with golden hair.
She seemed so gay, I envied her, and wished I was so fair.
I watched her as she rose to leave, and I saw her hobble 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, and the World is Mine.
I bought some sweets later on that day.
The boy who sold them had such charm;
I thought I'd stop and talk a while...if I were late, 'twould do no harm.
And as we talked he said," Thank you, sir. You've really been so kind.
It is nice to talk to folks like you, because you see I'm blind.
Oh God, forgive me when I whine;
I have two eyes, and the World is Mine.
Later, walking down the street, I met a boy with eyes so blue; but
he stood and watched the others play; it seemed he knew not what to do.
I paused, and then I said" Why don't you join the others, dear?"
But he looked straight ahead without a word, and then I knew, he couldn't hear.
Oh God, forgive me when I whine;
I have two ears and the World is Mine.
Two legs to take me where I go...
Two eyes to see the Sunset's glow....
Two ears to hear all that I should know....
Oh God, forgive me when I whine;
I'm blessed indeed, For the World is Mine.
