Bill Miller Orphan Child Lyrics

Orphan Child Lyrics

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...
