When I was five you were still alive
When I was born I was destined to be torn
Could not the knees have prevented me
Your silent graves cannot counsel me in times of need
Should I curse the day of my birth
Why was my childhood a whistling babe out in the wood
Oh-huh
Won't someone stay a while
Walk in my shoes a mile
Try hard to make me smile
Yeah yeah I know I know I'm just an orphan child
We had each other sisters and brothers
But after daddy fell we scattered just like Israel
My bitter face moved from place to place
Said goodbye to lots of friends all good things have to end
No foundation not a clue
I stare at the mirror saying who the hell are you?
Uh-huh
Won't someone stay a while
Walk in my shoes a mile
Try hard to make me smile
Yeah yeah I know I know I'm just an orphan child
Oh you poor little thing ya da ya da ya
That's just terrible ya da ya da ya
Bless your little heart ya da ya da ya
I've heard it all before don't care to hear it any more
Oh-huh
Won't someone stay a while
Walk in my shoes a mile
Try hard to make me smile
Yeah yeah I know I know I'm just an orphan child
