Today, upon a bus. <br />I saw a girl with golden hair. <br />And wished I was as fair. <br />When suddenly she rose to leave, <br />I saw her hobble down the aisle. <br />She had one leg and wore a crutch. <br />But as she passed, she smiled. <br />Oh God, forgive me when I whine. When I whine <br />I have two legs the world is mine. <br />I stopped to buy some candy. <br />The lad who sold it had such charm. <br />I talked with him, he seemed so glad. <br />If I were late, it’d do no harm. <br />And as I left, he said to me, <br />"I thank you, you've been so kind. <br />You see," he said, "I’m blind" <br />Oh God, forgive me when I whine. When I whine <br />I have two eyes the world is mine. <br />I saw a child with eyes of blue. <br />He stood and watched the others play. <br />He did not know what to do. <br />I stopped a moment and then I said, <br />"Why don't you join the others, dear?" <br />He looked ahead without a word. <br />And then I knew. He couldn't hear. <br />Oh God, forgive me when I whine. When I whine <br />I have two ears the world is mine. <br />With feet to take me where I’d go. <br />With eyes to see the sunset's glow. <br />With ears to hear what I'd know. <br />Oh God, forgive me when I whine. When I whine <br />I have blessed indeed, the world is mine
