"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 HALF SO FAIR:
I WATCHED HER AS SHE ROSE TO LEAVE, SHE HOBBLED DOWN THE AISLE.
SHE HAD ONE LEG, SHE WORE A CRUTCH,
BUT AS SHE PASSED SHE GAVE A SMILE.
OH GOD, FORGIVE ME WHEN I WHINE;
I HAVE TWO LEGS, THE WORLD IS MINE.
LATER ON I BOUGHT SOME SWEETS,
THE BOY WHO SOLD THEM HAD SUCH CHARM,
I THOUGHT I WOULD STOP AND TALK AWHILE AND
IF I WERE LATE IT WOULD DO NO HARM.
AS WE TALKED HE SAID, THANK YOU MAMAM, YOU HAVE BEEN SO KIND,
IT'S NICE TO TALK TO FOLKS LIKE YOU, BECAUSE YOU SEE I'M BLIND.
OH GOD, FORGIVE ME WHEN I WHINE:
I HAVE TWO EYES, THE WORLD IS MINE.
LATER WALKING DOWN THE STREET,
I MET A BOY WITH EYES OF BLUE.
HE WATCHED THE OTHERS PLAY, BUT
IT SEEMED HE KNEW NOT WHAT TO DO.
I PAUSED AND SAID, WHY DON'T YOU JOIN THE OTHERS, DEAR?
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, THE WORLD IS MINE.
TWO LEGS TO TAKE ME WHERE I GO,
TWO EYES TO SEE THE SUNSETS GLOW,
TWO EARS TO HEAR ALL I SHOULD KNOW.
OH GOD, FORGIVE ME WHEN I WHINE:
I AM BLESSED, INDEED THE WORLD IS MINE. |
