Generate meaning
1
i was once some mother's darlin
2
some daddy's little girl
3
more precious than the ruby
4
more cherished than the pearl
5
my heart was full of mercy
6
and my forehead full of curl
7
now i am nothing and am lost unto this world
8
i am lost unto this world...
9
they herded me like cattle
10
cut me down like corn
11
took me from my babies
12
before they could be born
13
you can blame it on the famine
14
you can blame it on the war
15
you can blame it on the devil
16
it don't matter anymore
17
i am lost unto this world...
18
i was tortured in the desert
19
i was raped out on the plain
20
i was murdered by the high way
21
and my cries went up in vain
22
my blood is on the mountain
23
my blood is on the sand
24
my blood runs in the river
25
that now washes thru their hands
26
i am lost unto this world...
27
can i get no witness this unholy tale to tell
28
was God the only one there watching
29
and weeping as i fell
30
o you among the living
31
will you remember me at all
32
will you write my name out
33
with a single finger scrawl
34
across a broken window
35
in some long forgotten wall
36
that goes stretching out forever
37
where the tears of heaven fall
38
i am lost unto this world...
