Orphan Child Lyrics - Bill Miller

A orphan child is always looking for a home 

A restless spirit with a burning desire to roam 

Nobody can hold her too long, she's afraid she just might stay 

When the nightbird starts a singing his song, like a gypsy she's on her way 

Even the wind or the rain can't keep her from running away 

On down that street through a long alley way 

And the tears won't come 

Cause there way inside 

Somebody say a prayer 

For the orphan child 

Just nineteen but she looks much older than that 

Pulling tricks down the avanue and shes working the streets at night like a cat 

And the men she meets, their all the same 

They don't even want to know her real name 

When the morning sun is on the rise 

She will sigh and call it a night 

Just another fatherless one 

And it nobody turns her around 

She live and die in the streets of this town 

And her tears won't come 

Cause there way inside 

Somebody say a prayer 

For that orphan child 

A orphan child is always looking for a home 

She's looking for a home. 

Somebody help that girl 

Somebody say a prayer 

She just looking for a home 

Just looking for a home...
