lyrics

Look around me

How hard could it be

To open my eyes beyond what I see

I take for granted these rights that I have

I've always had the freedom to be who I am

Persecution never darkened my door

I've never gone hungry

I've never been poor

Call me lucky, call me blessed

I've never put my life to the test

People are suffering

All over this world

Injustice, violence

And a lack of concern

Living in war zones

Children alone

Living in poverty

Without a home

Persecution never darkened my door

I've never gone hungry

I've never been poor

Call me lucky, call me blessed

I've never put my life to the test

Look around me

What do I see

My brothers and sisters

Are a people in need

Can I make a difference

How hard could it be

To stand up for what is right

And for what I believe

Persecution never darkened my door

I've never gone hungry

I've never been poor

Call me lucky, call me blessed

I've never put my life to the test
