I see them in the war, with their homes and families gone
And I know those little kids, ain't done nothing wrong
And I think about how good, we've had it all along
And I wonder was it anything we've done to be born, one of the lucky ones
I have never had to wonder, where my next meal would come from
And I can make a good living, with the songs I've sung
And it's a little piece of heaven where
I was raised when I was young, and I wonder
Was it anything I've done to be born, one of the lucky ones
I see them in disasters, and I see them on the street
And I see them so damn hungry, they can't stay on their feet
And I see them in our institutes their minds and bodies weak
And I wonder can anything be done by those of us, born the lucky ones
I have people who love me, more than my share
And my body isn't perfect, but I don't hurt any where
And whenever I get down I have someone who cares
And I wonder, was it anything I've done to be born, one of the lucky ones
What have they got to lose who have nothing
They won't have to take it if we just give them their share
And how long can they go on waiting, and I wonder
Can anything be done by those of us born the lucky ones
Oh yes I wonder was it anything I've done to be born, one of the lucky ones
