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... They herded me like cattle Cut me down like corn Took me from my babies Before they could be born You can blame it on the famine You can blame it on the war You can blame it on the devil It don't matter anymore I am lost unto this world... I was tortured in the desert I was raped out on the piain I was murdered by the high way And my cries went up in vain My blood is on the mountain My blood is on the sand My blood runs in the river That now washes through their hands I am lost unto this world... Can I get no witness this unholy tale to teil Was God the only one there watching And weeping as l feil O you among the living Will you remember me at all Will you write my name out With a single finger scrawl Across a broken window In some long forgotten wall That goes stretching out forever Where the tears of heaven fall I am lost unto this world...
