When God Made Me

Neil Young

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
