There But For Fortune

Show me the prison, show me the jail

Show me the prisoner whose face is growin' pale

And i'll show you a young man with so many reasons why

There but for fortune, go you or go i

You and i.



Show me the alley, show me the train

Show me the hobo who sleeps out in the rain

And i'll show you a young man with many reasons why

There but for fortune, go you or go i

You and i.



Show me the famine, show me the frail

Eyes with no future, that show how we fail

And i'll show you the children with so many reasons why

There but for fortune, go you or go i

You and i.



Show me the country where bombs had to fall

Show me the ruins of buildings once so tall

And i'll show you a young land with many reasons why

There but for fortune, go you or go i

You and i.

You and i.



There but for fortune, go you or go i

You and i.
