I was once some mother's darlin'
Some daddy's little
girl
More precious than the ruby
More cherished than the pearl
My heart was full of
mercy
And my forehead full of curl
Now I am nothing and am lost unto this world
I am
lost unto this world...
They herded me like cattle
Cut me down like corn
Took me
from my babies
Before they could be born
You can blame it on the famine
You can blame it
on the war
You can blame it on the devil
It don't matter anymore
I am lost unto this
world...
I was tortured in the desert
I was raped out on the piain
I was murdered
by the high way
And my cries went up in vain
My blood is on the mountain
My blood is on
the sand
My blood runs in the river
That now washes thru their hands
I am lost unto this
world...
Can I get no witness this unholy tale to teil
Was God the only one there
watching
And weeping as l feil
O you among the living
Will you remember me at
all
Will you write my name out
With a single finger scrawl
Across a broken window
In
some long forgotten wall
That goes stretching out forever
Where the tears of heaven
fall
I am lost unto this world... | | | |  Reddit | X / Twitter | Facebook | Copy link |
