Lyrics

Orphans

Hey Brother, where you gonna sleep tonight
There's no room, for you in the inn tonight
Guess nobody heard
God ain't got no orphans

Hey Sister, how you gonna heal the pain
Abandoned, yeah you thrown away again
Guess nobody heard,
God ain't got no orphans
Guess nobody heard,
God ain't got no orphans

Good Father, readin' from your holy book
Please teach me, can you show me where to look
Point me to the page, says God ain't got no Orphans
Really want to see the page, says God ain't got no Orphans

Sweet Mother, can you keep the children blessed
Sweet Mother, find them a safe place to rest
They really need to learn, God ain't got no Orphans
Really need to learn, God ain't got no Orphans
