Those Less Fortunate Than I

[00:04.82] (Mark Nesler)
[00:13.21] I don't have a lot, but I'm proud of what I've got
[00:18.32] I can't complain
[00:22.49] 'Cause I see people hangin' round, on the city streets downtown
[00:29.97] Living on pocket change
[00:34.66] There're times I've been confused, felt that I was born to lose
[00:42.14] Oh but I survived
[00:48.41] Unlike the one's who pray and feel more than blessed each day
[00:54.75] To just be still alive
[00:58.10] Is there something we can do
[01:03.48] Seems the odds against survival are a million to one
[01:08.86] The only hope they have will die
[01:15.68] In the hearts of you and I if nothing's ever done
[01:23.04] I can't save them by myself
[01:27.78] Oh but God forbid that I just turn my head
[01:32.22] And walk on by
[01:36.75] Don't let me be a stranger to those less fortunate than I
[01:45.77]
[01:48.86] Seems that old golden rule, that I learned back in school
[01:54.71] Has lost its shine
[02:01.75] It's a crying shame, and I wonder could the blame
[02:06.65] Be yours and mine
[02:12.24] Discipline was tough, and that old principal was rough
[02:19.88] But the times were good
[02:24.94] 'Cause no one ever found one single child shot down
[02:32.09] In the neighborhood
[02:35.13] Is there something we can do
[02:40.15] Seems the odds against survival are a million to one
[02:48.78] 'Cause every day that passes by
[02:52.35] Another street gang victim dies
[02:54.83] And still there's nothing done
[02:58.93]
[03:01.03] I can't save them by myself
[03:04.48] Oh but God forbid that I just run away somewhere and hide
[03:13.45] From the fear and the danger of those less fortunate than I
[03:22.68]
[03:25.25] Lord don't let me be a stranger to those less fortunate than I
[03:32.66]
