Lost Unto This World |
| 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 |
| I am lost unto this world |
| I 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 am lost unto this world |
| I am lost unto this world |
| I am lost unto this world |
| I was tortured in the desert |
| I was raped out on the plain |
| I was murdered by the highway |
| 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 through their hands |
| I am lost unto this world |
| I am lost unto this world |
| I am lost unto this world |
| I am lost unto this world |
| Can I get no witness? |
| This unholy tale to tell |
| Was God the only one there watching |
| And weeping as l fell? |
| 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 |
| I am lost unto this world |
| I am lost unto this world |
| I am lost unto this world |
