There but for Fortune Songtext
von Vicky Leandros
There but for Fortune Songtext
Show me the prison
Show me the jail
Show me the prisoner whose life has gone straight
And I′ll show you, young men
With so many reasons why
There but for fortune
Go you or I, hmm
Show me the alley
Show me the train
Show me the whole world
Who sleeps out in the rain
And I'll show you, young men
With so many reasons why
There but for fortune
Go you or I, hmm
Show me the country
Where the bombs had to fall
Show me the ruins of the buildings once so tall
And I′ll show you, young men
With so many reasons why
There but for fortune
Go you and I
You and I
Show me the jail
Show me the prisoner whose life has gone straight
And I′ll show you, young men
With so many reasons why
There but for fortune
Go you or I, hmm
Show me the alley
Show me the train
Show me the whole world
Who sleeps out in the rain
And I'll show you, young men
With so many reasons why
There but for fortune
Go you or I, hmm
Show me the country
Where the bombs had to fall
Show me the ruins of the buildings once so tall
And I′ll show you, young men
With so many reasons why
There but for fortune
Go you and I
You and I
