Lyrics

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
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 in thee, the world is mine
I stopped to buy, to buy some candy, the lad who sold it had such a charm
I talked with him, he seemed so glad if I were lame, he'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 arms, 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 in thee, 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
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 in thee, the world is mine
the world is mine
Ah
Ah
Ah
Ah
