You make merit of it, yes you do!
But it never depended on you.
Did you choose the colour of your skin

And the country to be born in?

[Ref.]

And you shout that's your city, wow!
And the counry's all yours
Take it all into your pocket now,

All the planet Earth.

Your name just to put aside,

Your race, your age and your sex,
What is a thing of your own pride
What have you done really yourself
