All the people who are living in the cold   With no direction, no place to call their own   Lacking proper shelter, pain is all they see   It humbles me completely just to know that could have been me      Chorus:   That could have been me (that could have been me)   That could have been me   Pain and the tears, relief unknown   Questioning why was I ever born   That could have been me (that could have been me)   That could have been me      Starvation in our world is bringing grief   All the blindness, famine and disease   I should never take for granted my health, prosperity   When I know I could have been the one with no one to rescue me      Repeat Chorus      That could have been me with the homeless   Not enjoying a happy home   That could have been me with the dying all alone   Though I know it's not my destiny   I've been spared from this much misery   I reach out and try to offer some relief      In slavery the miners want a say   Work till sundown just for pennies a day   Thought my skin is not that color   It's obvious what's right   So against ungodly treatment   I am willing to join the fight      Repeat Chorus
