Lost Unto This World

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 I'm lost unto this world
 I am lost unto this world
 I 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
 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 am lost unto this world
 I am lost unto this world
 I am lost unto this world
 I was tortured in the desert
 I was raped out on the plane
 I was murdered by the highway
 And my cries went up in vain (oh, oh)
 My blood is on the mountain
 My blood is on the sand
 My blood runs in the rivers
 That now washes through their hands
 I am lost unto this world
 I am lost unto this world
 I am lost unto this world
 I am lost unto this world
 Oh can I get no witness?
 This unholy tale to tell
 Was God the only one there watching?
 And weeping as I fell?
 ♪
 Oh you among the living
 Will you remember me at all?
 Will you write my name out?
 With a single finger scrawl? (Oh, oh, oh)
 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
 I am lost unto this world
 I am lost unto this world
 I am lost unto this world
 I am lost unto this world
 I am lost unto this world
 I am lost unto this world
 I am lost unto this world
