Acappella That Could Have Been Me song lyrics

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

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

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
