For you and i it may seem like paradise
But for for some they really pay the price
We look to the Man whos on the street
Whoms shoes aren't matching on his feet
We continue with the blind eyes pretending not to see
Looking at them "like"nothing comes for free
With Miles on the shoes and soles of their feet
Looking around for something to eat
Just think twice be twice as nice
For it's just another day for you and me in paradise
He calls out is there anyway you can help me
Is there something you can give me
He's got blisters on his feet can't walk but he's trying
You can tell by the look on his face he'd been crying
So many places to lay their heads
So many of them with no pillows or beds
What's paradise for you and I
Would simply make less fortunate somber and cry
OH Lord is there something we can say and do
Seeing so many makes me sad and blue
So think twice even though you're in paradise
Because for some they can't even get cup of water with freaking ice

Great piece that is based off one of the greatest songs ever written,
I loved it!!
Thanks I heard this choir sing it on AGT I never listened to the words until that night
It's an incredible song, and I remember that particular episode of AGT!!
I instantly started to write this trying to not duplicate but give my own interpretation
You did a great job!!
Don't know much about popular music, so missed that connection completely.
The message however was not, and should be pasted on every ne'er-do-well wealthy member of the population, which would surely include politicians.
Approved😉!
