lyrics

Thank you for this safe warm bed
A privilege enjoyed
By far too few in this wide world
More’s the pity

Thank you for the clear safe water
I didn’t have to haul
I turned a tap and it appeared
Unlike for many
More’s the pity

Thank you for my ears and eyes
And hands both deft and strong
Not everyone enjoys such gifts
How does that happen
Why does that happen
More’s the pity

Thank you for sufficient food
Enough to make me plump
So many have the opposite
Can we change that?
We should change that
Seems we never change that
More’s the pity

Is this the best that we can do
As clever as we are
We stand a chance of making change
So let’s make it
Making difference
No more pity
