orphan child lyrics
[verse 1]
long away, far ago
i had what i thought was the best
i watched it slip, fall, and fade
i watched perfection become transgressed
i ripped up my roots, i change my name
i lived between polluted shores
i strained my ears to hear the wind
tell me, why was i born?

[chorus]
i’m an orphan, honey
i’m a no*name nomad livin’ in this great unknown
this place is good as any and i’ve been to so many
i’m an orphan child
yes, i’m an orphan but i’m better on my own

[verse 2]
why this race, this blood, this face
these hands, these eyes, and these miles?
between the graves and city plagues
to seek the ease of empty smiles
friendships fought for then betrayed
buy a kiss in the solemn night
and money that was gone before it was made
and hunger that lost its appetite
[chorus]
i’m an orphan, honey
i’m a transient soul; my family tree’s on fire
and i don’t belong here or any place near
i’m an orphan child
well, i’m an orphan with a heart of barbed wire

[verse 3]
i used to walk these streets amazed
head ablaze in every town
i used to study every new face
now i keep my keys to the ground
why this language and why these dreams
and why must i hate what i create?
and why this mind full of twisted vines
lifelines and fates i can’t escape?

[chorus]
i’m an orphan, honey
i’m a passing stranger; i don’t have that much to say
there’s part of me you’ll never see
i’m an orphan child
yes, i’m an orphan; home’s still far away
