JUST HOW LUCKY WE ARE [electric demo] (Pete Ham)

When I'm feeling down, can't figure why

It's my guilty soul, it's bleeding me dry

When I think of the suffering people

Who would give anything to be free

Would I still believe God was a kind man

If that suffering person was me?


In my comfy chair with you by my side

With our lives to share, nothing to hide

Though I know that we may have some problems

But I know that the problems are few

For the kind of attention you give me

Won't allow me to be overblue


And I know just how lucky we are

Just how lucky we are.

When I'm feeling down, can't figure why

And my guilty soul, it's bleeding me dry

When I think of the suffering people

Who would give anything to be free

Would I still believe God was a good man

If that suffering person was me?


In my comfy chair with you by my side

With our lives to share, nothing to hide

Though I know that we all have some problems

Well I know that the problems are rare

For if you take the time to consider

You must know that there's someone who cares


We should know just how lucky we are

Just how lucky we are

Today, we're not far away

Life is so sad


You may think you're a fool, just look around

And you'll see for sure, there's worse to be found

You'll see thousands of innocent people

Who've be driven away from their land

And the houses the children were born in

Built out of pieces of stone in the sand


When a troubled day is making you fret

And you feel unsure of what you can get

And the luxuries that you are used to

Are beginning to get hard to find

Just believe that the power within you

Can make pleasure begin in your mind


We should know just how lucky we are

Just how lucky we are

Today, yes, we are today

Won't you help me to help me to help us to all realize

Just how lucky we are

Just how lucky we are

Just how lucky we are.
