Problems At Home

Fires are burning, up the forests

Down along the Amazon

There's children starving in Guatemala

They're just barely hanging on

And I pray they'll find the answer

That there's a way to right the wrong

And Lord, while you're listenin'

Could I mention

Some troubles of my own?

I got problems right here at home

A teenage boy in Mississippi

Brings his daddy's gun to school

A little girl in New York City

Buys cocaine for momma to use

And I pray they'll find the answer

That there's a way to right the wrong

And Lord, while you're listenin'

Could I mention

Some troubles of my own?

I got problems right here at home

My wife is crying

Our baby's fighting

A battle that she may not win

The doctors doing

All that he can

God, now it's all in your hands

And I pray they'll find the answer

That there's a way to right the wrong

Now I'm just one man a grain of sand

In a troubled world I know

But I've got a problem

Right her at home

I've got a problem

Right her at home
