Fires are burning up the forests

Down along the amazon

There's children starving in guatemala

They're just barely hanging on

[Chorus]

And I pray they'll find the answer

That there's a way to right the wrong

And lord while you're listening

Could I mention some troubles of my own

I got problems right here at home

A teenage boy in mississippi

Brings his daddy's gun to school

A little girl in new york city

Buys cocaine for mama to use

[Chorus]

My wife is crying; our baby's fighting

A battle that she may not win

The doctor's doing all that he can

God now it's all in your hands

And I pray they'll find the answer

That there's a way to right the wrong

Now I'm just one man, a grain of sand

In a troubled world I know

But I've got a problem right here at home

I've got a problem right here at home
