Текст песни Children of Privilege (Joe Purdy) с переводом

Well listen all you children of privilege

'Cause I am one of you

I was born on a dirt road

Out in the country

And I wanted for nothing

No trouble did I see

So do not pretend

That you understand

All the troubles that others been through

Don’t point your fingers and so freely judge all the ones

Who ain’t as privileged as you

If you never had to fight for your life or your family

If you never had to live on the streets all alone

If you’ve never been harassed by the ones who should protect you

If you’ve never been mistreated for the colour of your skin

Then listen all your children of privilege

'Cause I am one of you

I had a good mother and I had a good father

And together they showed me respect for all people

Regardless of class and

Regardless of background

Regardless of race

No matter their religion or

Their preference of partner

'Cause every human being will have their own story as

Important as the other who walks right beside or

Across their own city

Across this great country

Across the blue water to lands far and wide

Well I ain’t saying that I can equip you

I ain’t saying I ain’t already fought

I am just trying to have more compassion

To lead by example and to

Turn from my temper not to

Add to the anger not to

Give in to violence and

'Cause great divide between me and my neighbour

Between me and my brother

Between me and my sister

There’s too many suffering and

There’s too many dying in this

World without reasons in this

World without reason in this

World without reason

So don’t turn tour back on the ones with less fortune

The ones with less privilege that could have been you

With a slight twist of fate if they were born lucky or

Born into money or

Born with white skin

Well I’ll tell you plainly what I’m trying to do

I’m just trying to be better

Changing my own life

And look towards the future

And find understanding

So that I might inspire you to

Look at your own life and

Think for yourself

So listen all you children of privilege

'Cause I am one of you
