“Why Are We So Lucky”
Today is a great day
To be alive
The sun is shining
And we feel good
But for many of us
In this world
It is going to be their last day
They don’t know it
But we will all die
Both Saints and sinners
But it is also a day
When many children are being born
All over the world
There is a 1 in 20 chance
That we will be born in America
Why are we so lucky
Most people are born to
Non Christian families
Muslim, Buddhist, etc.
Why are we so lucky
In India
You are lucky to live
To be a year old
Or if you are lucky
You might live
And just be sick
Your entire life
Why are we so lucky
I don’t know the answer
But I do know
Where much is given
Much is expected
I do know
God gave us a tremendous opportunity
God gave us a great gift--LIFE
What we do with our life
Is our gift back to God
WHY ARE WE SO LUCKY
