When God Made Me

Was he thinking about my country Or the color of my skin Was he thinking about my religion And the way I worshipped him Did he create just me in his image Or every living thing 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 wars That were fought in his name Did he say there was only one way To be close to him When God made me When God made me Did he give me the gift of love To say who I could choose When God made me 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 - Neil Young
