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 |
