He walks all alone by the railroad tracks
Carryin' what he owns in a couple of sacks
Our collective thumb keeps pushing him down
Told him many times he's not welcome in town
He doesn’t know he’s a favorite son
Love reaches deeper than tears ever run
Before he was born, his unique heart
Was fashioned in the mural of creation art
He’s a favorite one, in spite of all we’ve done
Oh---Oh, favorite one
Working two jobs ends never seem to meet
She often goes hungry so her babies can eat
Her fatherless son wears torn clothes to school
Where making fun of him's the only golden rule
She doesn’t know she’s a favorite daughter
That someone wants to help her walk on water
We’ve destroyed her faith, treated her with scorn
And made her long regret the day she was ever born
She’s a favorite one, in spite of all we’ve done
Oh---Oh, favorite one
In this fool's gold rush of greed's deception game
The way we treat each other is a dirty rotten shame
And we have no idea we’re a favorite one
Loved before the dawn of a stained creation
What goes around comes back to haunt our children
Generations blinded by generations' sin
We’re a favorite one, in spite of all we’ve done
Oh---Oh, favorite one
Oh---Oh, favorite one
Oh---Oh, favorite one
He walks all alone by the railroad tracks
Carryin' what he owns in a couple of sacks * **

What manner of nation would use half of the world's resources, harbor much of the world's wealth, contain a large percentageof the world's educated elite, continue to build some of the world's most expensive (and entirely worthless) religious edifices, provide unwarranted tax breaks for the extremely wealthy top 1% of the population and an entertainment industry which routinely spends over one hundred million dollars to create meaningless motion picture drivel, claim to have the preferred form of government for the entire planet and to stand for truth and justice. . . and yet look the other way as impoverished homeless war veterans, senior citizen's and children are forced to sleep in cardboard boxes, in back alleyways, under bridges, in city parks and on city sidewalks? Will the country which Samuel Clemens referred to as the "land of bibles" go down in history as the one nation beyond all others, that devolved into an utter profane insult to the Creator of the universe?
*FootNote: "Look, this was the iniquity of your sister Sodom: She and her daughter had pride, fullness of food and abundance of idleness; neither did she strengthen the hand of the poor and needy." Ezekiel 16:49. See also Fleeing Sodom for more details.
**FootNote II: Many modern intellectuals and liberal activists do not believe that the Creator will come down hard on a nation that does not make a concerted effort to help the sick and poor. People who vainly imagine that there is no Creator in control who does to nations as they do unto their own are even more insane than the current Bush Junior administration and the Christian Coalition combined (good luck).
