| 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 smile Oh God, forgive me when I whine I have 2 legs, the world is mine I stopped to buy 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 2 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 2 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 |
