Third World Woman - Amy Grant

What if I were that mother staring from my TV

What if that were my brown-eyed baby

Hungry as she could be

What if that were my family

What if that was my world

Waiting on water waiting on a vaccine

Waiting on someone to bring me a bag of beans

Lord have mercy on me

Lord have mercy on me

Lord have mercy on me

Lord have mercy on me

What of I was that mother and I was waiting on me

The big success so well dressed on the other side of the sea

Living with my distractions

Life’s been good to me

Maybe she’s praying

Praying for a miracle

Maybe the answer is me

Lord have mercy on me

Lord have mercy on me

Lord have mercy on me

Lord have mercy on me

I was born in Georgia where I could do as I pleased

And I can get my hands on just about anything I might need

Who’s that third world woman

Maybe she could be

Could be mother, could be daughter

Could be sister to me

Lord have mercy on me

Lord have mercy on me

Lord have mercy on me

Lord have mercy on me
