How about the children who are hungry
And never get to eat
How about the people who are homeless
Sleeping in the street
Every night
Before I go to sleep
I count my blessings
Instead of sheep
I say a prayer
My soul to keep
I count my blessings
When I hear
The sound of complaining
I put my hands to my ears
Think of those
Whose lives have been taken
And thank the Lord I am here
I've got some money in my pocket
A hand I can hold
Somebody standing by me
When the winter gets too cold
Chorus
I
I'd give some away
Share in my good fortune
Hear
Hear me when I say
I'll give some away
How about the people who are starving
And never get to eat
How about the children in the desert
Dying from the heat
