| Fires are burning up the forests
|
| Down along the Amazon
|
| There’s children starving in Guatemala
|
| They’re just barely hanging on
|
| And I pray they’ll find the answer
|
| That there’s a way to right the wrong
|
| And Lord while you’re listening
|
| Could I mention some troubles of my own
|
| I got problems right here at home
|
| A teenage boy in Mississippi
|
| Brings his daddy’s gun to school
|
| A little girl in New York City
|
| Buys cocaine for Mama to use
|
| And I pray they’ll find the answer
|
| That there’s a way to right the wrong
|
| And Lord while you’re listening
|
| Could I mention some troubles of my own
|
| I got problems right here at home
|
| My wife is crying; |
| Our baby’s fighting
|
| A battle that she may not win
|
| The doctor’s doing all that he can
|
| God now it’s all in your hands
|
| And I pray they’ll find the answer
|
| That there’s a way to right the wrong
|
| Now I’m just one man, a grain of sand
|
| In a troubled world I know
|
| But I’ve got a problem right here at home
|
| I’ve got a problem right here at home |
