When God made me.
When God made me.

Was he planning only for believers, or for those who just had faith?
Did he envision all the wars that were fought in his name?

When God made me.

Did he give us the gift of love to say who we could choose?
When God made me.
When God made me.

Did he give me the gift of voice so some could silence me?
Did he give me the gift of vision not knowing what I might see?
Did he give me the gift of compassion to help my fellow man?
When God made me.
When God made me.
When God made me.
When God made me.
