Opportunity

[Verse 1]
There is a young boy
Who went off to war
Thought his God and country
Were what he was fighting for
Well, his plane got shot down
And he did not make it back
Tell me, how come his God and his country
Don't give a damn where he's at?

[Chorus]
Where is his opportunity?
Where is his opportunity?

[Verse 2]
There is a lady, who is growing old
She don't have much money
So she's also growing cold
The President comes on TV
To tell her what she's gonna get
Well, she turns him right off
'Cause he hasn't kept his promise yet

[Chorus]
Where is her opportunity?
Where is her opportunity?

[Verse 3]
There is something that escapes me
Something I don't quite understand
What the Constitution means
By "freedom for every man"
And everyone who is listening
Listening to this song
Feels the sadness, instead of gladness

[Verse 4]
We are the people
The people of a great land
And when I sing about my burdens
I hope I sing for every man
Maybe he's a dreamer
But he's not the only one
And only we can change the future
For our daughters and our sons

[Chorus]
Where is his opportunity?
Ooh, won't somebody tell me, wow-ow-ow
Where is his opportunity?
Jah, he, his opportunity, yeah yeah
Where is his opportunity?
Ow, ow, ow-ow-ow, yeah, yeah...
