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 your listen

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 your listen

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 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
