an admired song

forgive me

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, when i whine

i have two 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, when i whine

i have two eyes the world is mine

i saw a child with eyes of blue

he stood and watches the others play

he did not know what to do

i stop 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 know

oh GOD forgive me when i whine, when i whine

i've been blessed indeed, the world is mine...
