I
I WENT INTO AN ORPHAN HOME,
NOT MORE THAN A WEEK AGO.
AND A STORY TOLD BY A DEAR LITTLE GIRL,
I'LL REMEMBER FOREVER I KNOW
II
I KNELT TO TAKE HER IN MY ARMS,
SHE SEEMED SO SWEET AND KIND.
BUT MY HEART FELL TO MY FEET,
WHEN I SAW SHE WAS BLIND.
III
AND AS I WALKED BACK SLOWLY HOME,
MY TEARS I COULD NOT HIDE.
I THOUGHT OF PEOPLE WHO HAVE EVERYTHING,
AND STILL THEY'RE NOT SATISFIED.
CHORUS
MOMMY AND DADDY BOTH ARE DEAD,
JESUS TOOK THEM AWAY.
BUT IF I LIVE FOR HIM BELOW,
I'LL MEET THEM IN HEAVEN I KNOW.
