(Harlan Howard)
While we're drinking our martinis
There's a little child that's starving in Biafra
And the good life that I'm living makes me happy but not blind
I see my neighbors dying
For the freedom that I always took for granted
And the world is weighing heavy on my mind.
As I hold and kiss my woman and caress our healthy children
I feel sympathy
For the lonely souls that search for love but never find
And I wish to God they had the love
And happiness that I've got
For their tears are weighing heavy on my mind.
God, I thank you for my blessin's
And I'll try hard to deserve 'em
And each day I hope I'm better than the day I left behind
But I see the poor and sad Lord
And they're needin' you so bad Lord
Won't you help 'em find the happiness in life you've given mine.
Now I'll give a word of comfort to a stranger
Who is down and need a buddy
And I'll try to be the kind of friend we seek but seldom find
And I'll give a little more than I've received
Of human kindness
For the world is weighing heavy on my mind.
This old world is weighing heavy on my mind...
While we're drinking our martinis
There's a little child that's starving in Biafra
And the good life that I'm living makes me happy but not blind
I see my neighbors dying
For the freedom that I always took for granted
And the world is weighing heavy on my mind.
As I hold and kiss my woman and caress our healthy children
I feel sympathy
For the lonely souls that search for love but never find
And I wish to God they had the love
And happiness that I've got
For their tears are weighing heavy on my mind.
God, I thank you for my blessin's
And I'll try hard to deserve 'em
And each day I hope I'm better than the day I left behind
But I see the poor and sad Lord
And they're needin' you so bad Lord
Won't you help 'em find the happiness in life you've given mine.
Now I'll give a word of comfort to a stranger
Who is down and need a buddy
And I'll try to be the kind of friend we seek but seldom find
And I'll give a little more than I've received
Of human kindness
For the world is weighing heavy on my mind.
This old world is weighing heavy on my mind...
