Show me the prison, show me the jail
|
Show me the prisoner whose face is growin' pale
|
And I'll show you a young man with so many reasons why
|
There but for fortune, go you or go I
|
You and I.
|
|
Show me the alley, show me the train
|
Show me the hobo who sleeps out in the rain
|
And I'll show you a young man with many reasons why
|
there but for fortune, go you or go I
|
You and I.
|
|
Show me the famine, show me the frail
|
Eyes with no future, that show how we fail
|
And I'll show you the children with so many reasons why
|
There but for fortune, go you or go I
|
You and I.
|
|
Show me the country where bombs had to fall
|
Show me the ruins of buildings once so tall
|
And I'll show you a young land with many reasons why
|
There but for fortune, go you or go I
|
You and I.
|
You and I.
|
|
There but for fortune, go you or go I
|
You and I.

THERE BUT FOR FORTUNE
