Third World Woman

Have you heard this song by Amy Grant?
(she starts singing around 40 seconds)


What if I were that mother staring from my tv 
What if that were my brown eyed baby 
Hungry as she could be 
What if that were my family 
What if that was my world 
Waiting on water waiting on a vaccine 
Waiting on someone to bring me a bag of beans 

Lord have mercy on me 
Lord have mercy on me
Lord have mercy on me 
Lord have mercy on me 

 What if I was that mother and I was waiting on me 
The big success so well dressed on the other side of the sea 
Living with my distractions 
Life's been good to me 
Maybe she's praying 
Praying for a miracle 
Maybe the answer is me

Lord have mercy on me 
Lord have mercy on me 
Lord have mercy on me
Lord have mercy on me 

I was born in Georgia where I could do as I pleased 
And I can get my hands on just about anything I might need 
Who's that third world woman 
Maybe she could be 
Could be mother, could be daughter 
Could be sister to me 

Lord have mercy on me 
Lord have mercy on me 
Lord have mercy on me 
Lord have mercy on me
