Today, upon a bus, I saw a girl with golden hair.
And wished I was as fair. When suddenly she rose to leave,
I saw her hobble down the aisle. 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 charm.
I talked with 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 two 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. 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 been blessed indeed, the world is mine.
