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

They herded me like cattle, cut me down like corn

You can blame it on the famine, you can blame it on the war

My blood runs in the river that now washes thru their hands

That goes stretching out for- ever where the tears of heaven fall
