| When suddenly she rose to leave, I saw her hobble down the aisle.
|
| She had one leg and wore a crutch, but as she passed, a smile.
|
| Oh Allah, Oh Allah, forgive me when I whine.
|
| I have 2 legs to walk upon and the world is mine.
|
| I stopped to buy some candy; |
| met a boy who had such charm.
|
| We talked, he seemed so happy, if I were late, it do no harm.
|
| And as I left, he said to me, 'Thank you, you’ve been so kind.
|
| It’s nice to talk with folks like you. |
| You see,' he said, 'I'm blind.'
|
| Oh Allah, Oh Allah, forgive me when I whine.
|
| I have 2 eyes to see the world and the world is mine.
|
| Later that day on my way, I saw a boy with eyes of blue.
|
| He watched the other children play; |
| he did not know what to do.
|
| I stopped a moment, then I said, 'Why don’t you join the others, dear?'
|
| He kept on looking straight ahead and then I knew he could not hear
|
| Oh Allah, Oh Allah, forgive me when I whine.
|
| I have 2 ears to hear the world and world is mine.
|
| With legs to take me where I’d go.
|
| With eyes to see the sunset glow.
|
| With ears to hear what I’d know
|
| Oh the world is mine
|
| I stopped for a moment, just look how much I have
|
| Everywhere, in all our lives, these are His signs
|
| Oh Allah, Oh Allah, forgive me when I whine.
|
| I have been blessed indeed, and the world is mine
|
| Oh Allah, Oh Allah, forgive me when I whine.
|
| I have been blessed indeed, and the world is mine |
