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
