Generate meaning
1
You're tired and you're poor
2
You long to be free
3
But in this godforsaken land
4
You find no, no family
5
Many roads that you've wandered
6
Since the day of your birth
7
You've become one of the last
8
Lonely and wretched
9
Your hair is matted
10
Your face and hands are dirty
11
The years that you've toiled
12
Must number somewhere near thirty
13
The deepening of a sadness
14
Broke finally into madness
15
You are truly one of the last
16
Lonely and wretched
17
Your eyes are wild and frightening
18
At the same time they are blessed
19
And I wonder if God died
20
Turned His back or only just rested
21
And you walked out on the seventh day
22
Through the big gates and on your way
23
To become one of the last
24
Lonely and wretched
25
For once you were a child
26
Your cheeks were red, you were well fed
27
You laughed and played till you got teary
28
Ran to your mother when you were weary
29
But somewhere you were forsaken
30
Alone I'll not bear the blame
31
And somehow all was taken
32
Your mind, your body, your name
33
Forgive us our unkindness
34
Our desertion and our blindness
35
With you, the last
36
Lonely and wretched
37
Forgive us, all the last
38
Lonely and wretched
