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.
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 have blessed indeed, 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.
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 have blessed indeed, 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 have blessed indeed, the world is mine
