Lyrics
There’s a piece of my heart no country can claim
all I have in this world is my word and my name
and if I am so lucky as to see you again
I’ll be the fortunate one
There’s a place in my mind that never forgets
where forgiveness might be all that we get
if there’s peace in this world I haven’t found it yet
still I’m the fortunate one
Bring us your tired, your hungry and poor
if this isn’t privilege than what is it for
when I stumble heaven forbid I forget
I was the fortunate one
There’s a piece of my heart no country can claim
all I have in this world is my word and my name.
