Was he thinkin' about my country
|
Or the color of my skin?
|
Was he thinkin' 'bout my religion
|
And the way I worshipped him?
|
Did he create just me in his image
|
Or every living thing?
|
|
When God made me
|
When God made me
|
|
Was he planning only for believers
|
Or for those who just have faith?
|
Did he envision all the wars
|
That were fought in his name?
|
Did he say there was only one way
|
To be close to him?
|
|
When God made me
|
When God made me
|
|
Did he give me the gift of love
|
To say who I could choose?
|
|
When God made me
|
When God made me
|
|
When God made me
|
When God made me
|
|
Did he give me the gift of voice
|
So some could silence me?
|
Did he give me the gift of vision
|
Not knowing what I might see?
|
Did he give me the gift of compassion
|
To help my fellow man?
|
|
When God made me
|
When God made me
|
|
When God made me
|
When God made me
|
