I Am A Very Lucky Fellow

In a World where many go hungry and millions of malnutrition die
I tell myself I am so lucky yes so very lucky am I
To have never known what it feels like to be hungry life is like a game of chance
Things might have been different for me were I born in different circumstance.

Compared to many I may seem poor though I don't see it that way
Since I've never known what it feels like to go hungry even for a day
Thousands of poor homeless people are wandering on no hope street
Searching through rubbish bins in desperation for discarded food to eat.

Of war and terrorism in the news of late we only hear
And the power hungry cling to their power by their broadcasting of fear
And so many homeless people on the long road to nowhere
In the World that they live in compassion is very rare.

I am a very lucky fellow though financially in the red
Never once gone without dinner and I sleep in a warm bed
Millions of others not so lucky lady luck is kind to me
In the bigger World out there so much want and poverty.
