Compared to most I feel so lucky I never have known hunger pain
I’ve always had a warm bed to sleep in and I’ve never slept out in the rain
In a World where millions are homeless and millions live in poverty
I am one of the lucky people one of the privileged minority.
In a World where the poor are forgotten and where millions for success compete
Millions are slowly dying of malnutrition their dream is enough food to eat
The suburb of the wealthy and famous the breeding ground of self conceit
By motor car only a short drive from the squalor of Poverty Street.
Compared to most I am so lucky though I’ll never be a millionaire
Lady Luck she has always been with me and by life I’ve been treated fair
The distribution of wealth is disgraceful the reason for inequality
Compared to most I am so lucky I do feel life’s been good to me.
I may not have an abundance of money but I have enough of it for to get by
I do feel the tag of Mr Lucky to one like me has to apply
Compared to most I feel quite privileged I do not have any cause to complain
Lady Luck has always been with me and with me I hope she remain.
