The This World Is Rich (for Stephen Maboe) Lyrics - The Well's On Fire - Procol Harum

This world is rich, but it is not mine 

Where I live, hungry children are crying 

I am not angry, at my own condition 

I just want people to know my position 

This world is rich, but it is not mine 

My people are starving, that must be a crime 

When some have so much, and some have so little 

There must be a place, we can meet in the middle 

This world is rich, but it is not mine 

This world is rich, but it is not mine

Our water is poisoned, poverty's intense 

We cry inequality, they just build a fence 

We don't even own, the ditch where we're dying 

This world is rich, but it is not mine

This world is rich, but it is not right 

We're asking for help, before we run out of time 

We can't live on talk, we just need a hand 

We'll walk from the slums, to the promised land 

This world is rich, but it is not mine
