Great song! I believe in the last verse she sings "the fortune of one man, means less for some." That's a much more powerful lyric.

Lyric Correction

agreed. you gave the right lyrics. it also makes more sense that way because i was told the song was about the president (among other things) - i think it not only addresses how we as a country ignore the needy in other countries, but how the government ignores the needy in their own country. it's good to have compassion for other countries, but we need to take care of our own people first.
