The Orphan's Song

Joy wrote this song.  I wanted to share it and by the suggestion of a friend, to share it with the adoption community on a couple of forums as well.  She truly has a heart for the orphan (as do I).  I hope you enjoy it!  

Here are the words:


 The Orphan's Song


(1st verse)

Hello, my name is orphan;


my name is unadopted;


my name is child of God.






Hello, my name is unloved;


my name is cared for...


not nourished.






I fear turning fourteen;


Unavailable to be loved;


I live in an orphanage;


nannies pass me by,too many kids cry.






(Chorus)


Just a little special need,


but there's nothing to be done


until you come.


So why don't you come?






(2nd verse)



I saw you get your little guy;


you were huggin' him;


and I was just standing by.






And my friend was picked today;


they took her away;


and I was left standin' by.






Someday, it will be my turn.


They will come for me;


and I will go home.






(Chorus)



Just a little special need;


but there's nothing to be done


until you come.


So why don't you come?


Come?






(Bridge)


Orphan,


unadopted,


unloved,


child of God.






(Chorus)


Just a little special need;


but there's nothing to be done


until you come.


So why don't you come?


Come?


Come?






When will you come?
