Is it luck or is it just a game For some lose health others gain Some have no money to earn or to share Yes they are rich they have family to share To be troubled and ill is a terrible loss Like freedom being taken Like bombs being dropped Poverty pain regret or fear Everyone has their story their tear Maybe the theif whos stealing the goods Is trying to pay for a child whos lost And the beggar you try to pretend isnt there Cannot move away from the darkness he bares And the preacher man who runs shouting may scare But a lonely soul may be fearful in there The street painter whos work you clearly adore May be a wise man or a victim of war So when you walk through the market square Just take a moment to stand be aware That every person has value you see They all have a purpose just like you and me
