People whine but they should be asking for forgiveness and be thankful for what they have. I just remember a song by Ahmad Bukhathir a beautiful one. Today upon a bus I saw a girl with golden hair, And wished I was as fair When suddenly she rose to leave I saw her hobble down the aisle She had one leg and wore a crutch But as she passed she smiled Oh god, forgive me when I whine When I whine. I have two legs the world is mine. I stopped to buy, to buy some candy The lad who sold it had such charm I talked with him, he seemed so glad If I were late, it‘d do no harm And as I left, he said to me: “I thank you, you’ve been so kind” “You see” he said “I am blind”. Oh god, forgive me when I whine When I whine. I have two eyes the world is mine. I saw a child with eyes of blue he stood and watched the others play He did not know what to do I stopped a moment and then I said: “why don’t you join the others dear?” He looked ahead without a word and then I knew he couldn’t hear Oh god, forgive me when I whine When I whine. I have two ears the world is mine. With feet to take me where I go with eyes to see the sunset glow, with ears to hear what I know Oh god, forgive me when I whine when I whine. I’ve been blessed indeed the world is mine. |
