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...
