Excuses
I?d like to stop the hunger in the world,
I?d like to help stop the disease
I?d like to help make the poorer much richer,
I?d like to stop all the pain please
But I can?t because
My husband might not like it if I?m late
My kids will be needing their tea
The house is a mess and I?m needing a rest
The goody goody stuff will just have to wait
I?d like to give money to help poor children grow
I?d like to stop people dying from want
I?d like to stop children being hurt, bruised and worse
I?d like to make a difference in the world
But if I do
People will think I?m a soft touch you know
They?d take for a ride you can bet
I?d run out of time and be a tired old wretch
But maybe- well next year, yes you bet!
