| Today upon a bus, I saw a lovely maiden with golden hair.
I envied her, she seemed so gay, and how I wished I were so fair.
When suddenly she rose to leave, I saw her hobble down the aisle.
She had one foot, and wore a crutch, but as she passed, a smile.
Oh, God, Forgive Me When I Whine,
I Have Two Feet. The World Is Mine.
And when I stopped to buy some sweets the lad who served me had such charm.
He seemed to radiate good cheer, his manner was so kind, and warm.
I said, "It's nice to deal with you, such courtesy I seldom find!"
He turned and said, "Oh, thank you, sir!" Then I saw that he was blind.
Oh, God, Forgive Me When I Whine.
I Have Two Eyes, The World Is Mine.
When later I was walking, I saw a little boy with eyes of blue.
He sat and watched the others play, it seemed he knew not what to do.
I stopped a moment, 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.
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 should know,
I'm blessed indeed, the world is mine.
Oh, God, Forgive Me When I Whine
