As Warren Buffet says, he won the lottery being born in the USA. Even a 'loser' here has advantages that most people around the world do not.

You want to see a real rags to riches story. Look up the guys who make it out of the slums of Mumbai, who grew up eating garbage and drank bacteria laden water, and somehow still rose out of that.

But while these stories are great and inspiring, they are the 0.0001%. Most of the people born in those unfortunate circumstances will not make it out. Most will never know what having a full belly means. Most will not escape the daily violence and gang threats.

In the words of Phil Collins, "it's just another day for you and me in paradise"

Full lyrics:

She calls out to the man on the street

"Sir, can you help me?

It's cold and I've nowhere to sleep

Is there somewhere you can tell me?"

He walks on, doesn't look back

He pretends he can't hear her

Starts to whistle as he crosses the street

Seems embarrassed to be there

Oh, think twice, 'cause it's another day for you and me in paradise

Oh, think twice, 'cause it's another day for you

You and me in paradise

Think about it

She calls out to the man on the street

He can see she's been crying

She's got blisters on the soles of her feet

She can't walk but she's trying

Oh, think twice, 'cause it's another day for you and me in paradise

Oh, think twice, it's just another day for you

You and me in paradise

Just think about it

Oh Lord, is there nothing more anybody can do?

Oh Lord, there must be something you can say

You can tell from the lines on her face

You can see that she's been there

Probably been moved on from every place

'Cause she didn't fit in there

Oh, think twice, 'cause it's another day for you and me in paradise

Oh, think twice, it's just another day for you

You and me in paradise

Just think about it

Mhm

Think about it

It's just another day for you and me in paradise

It's just another day for you and me in paradise (para-paradise)

Paradise

Ooh, just think about it

Paradise

Just think about it (para-paradise)

Paradise

Mhm, paradise

Paradise

Just another day
