While we're drinking our martinis there's a little child that's starving in Biafra
|
And the good life that I'm living makes me happy but not blind
|
I see my neighbors dying for the freedom
|
That I always took for granted and the world is weighing heavy on my mind
|
As I hold and kiss my woman and caress our healthy children I feel sympathy
|
For the lonely souls that search for love but never find
|
And I wish to God they had the love and happiness that I've got
|
For their tears are weighing heavy on my mind
|
God I thank you for my blessin's and I'll try hard to deserve 'em
|
And each day I hope I'm better than the day I left behind
|
For I see the poor and sad Lord and they're needin' you so bad Lord
|
Won't you help 'em find the happiness in life you've given mine
|
Now I'll give a word of comfort to a stranger who's down and need a buddy
|
And I'll try to be the kind of friend we seek but seldom find
|
And I'll give a little more than I've received of human kindness
|
For the world is weighing heavy on my mind this old world is weighing heavy on my mind
|
