Lyrics

?Lonely Child?
Copyright 2004 Michael D, all rights reserved.


Oh see the lonely child, cold & all alone.

He roams the streets at night, rather then being alone.

His Mom works two jobs, his Dad he has never known.

His life is in the gang, selling drugs and carrying guns.

He killed an innocent man, just to prove that he?s strong, just to prove? he?s a man.

One night their worlds explode, many died when gangs clash.

Oh see the lonely child, face down a gun in hand.

His life ends on this night, in another worthless fight, on this cold? winter?s night.


Oh see the lonely child, in a city far from home.

She walks the streets at night, to sell herself by lamplight.

She left her rural life, because Mom & Dad always fight.

She lives by selling delight, and doing drugs through the night.

She?ll see more in one night, then her Mom did in her life, and she prays she?ll? survive the night.

For she?ll never grow old, disease has taken hold.

Oh see the lonely child, who?s life will never unfold.

She now lives in a lie, believing that she won?t die, as her life? passes by.


Oh see the lonely child, cold & all alone.

He roams the streets at night, rather then being alone.

Oh see the lonely child, in a city far from home.

She walks the streets at night, to sell herself by lamplight.

Oh see the lonely child, all he wanted was a home.

Oh see the lonely child, all she wanted? was a home.
