Procol Harum - The Well's on Fire

The World of Rich

This world is rich, but it is not mine
And 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 even talk, we just need a hand
We'll walk from the slums, to the promised land
To promise land

This world is rich, but it is not mine
This world is rich, but it is not mine
This world is rich, but it is not mine
This world is rich, but it is not mine

This world is rich, but it is not mine
