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