You make merit of it, yes you do!
But it never depended on you.
Did you choose the colour of your skin
& the country to be born in?
Ref.
& you shout that`s your city, wow!
& the counry`s all yours
Take it all into your pocket now,
All the planet Earth.
Your name just to put aside,
Your race, your age & your sex,
What is a thing of your own pride
What have you done really yourself
