You are reading from the book Today's Gift
Education should be the process of helping everyone to discover his uniqueness.
—Leo Buscaglia
We are each special, which means there is not another person just like ourselves. Nobody looks just like us. Nobody's voice sounds quite like our own. And nobody thinks through a story just like we do.
Each of us has been created for a special purpose. Maybe it's for what we'll teach a friend, or the way we'll help a sister or a brother. Every day will give us chances to offer our special talents to others. Our being alive is God's way of proving that we're important to the family, the neighborhood, and the world.
What important task lies before me today?

v1
How does this great country
That has all this wealth
Make so many poor decisions
When it comes to people's health?
The few profit off the many
And reject 'em in their time of need
The horror stories are plenty
But the biggest one is the excessive greed
pr ch
I'm gonna tell the truth
Everywhere we see the proof
ch
The system is sick, it's sick, sick oh it's sick
The system is sick, it's sick - whoa it's sick
v2
So what do you do
When you're told
There's no more grace in growing old?
And where does one turn
when they learn
They've lost everything and all the money they earned?
br
Isn't this America?
Home of the free & brave
So where is your courage now?
Isn't this America
Land of the fabled dream
It's time to wake up & face reality
ch
It's sick, it's sick - whoa the system is sick
The system is sick, it's sick...it's hard to tell when it will get well
Instr. bridge - 8 bars / change
v3
to love is universal
care is universal too
this life has no rehearsal
so what shall we do?
let compassion be the guide
health care's a human right...
pr ch
now i'm gonna tell the truth
in our children's eyes we'll the proof
ch
the system can change & grow strong
but we've gotta stand up now - we can't wait for long
The system can be healed and transformed
everybody in, nobody out - let compassion be the norm
