lyrics

Born an orphan happy birthday
Writhing and reeling, custody of the state
You’re flesh to own
Bred to believe all will desert you
Needing to talk when there’s no one to talk to
Your heart's a stone
Heavy and cold but won’t be thrown
Looking for a home from some distant dream
But it found you and called you family
You don’t know what to feel
You tell yourself that you’re lost
But it is real

No matter where you go
Or what you do
Or have done
There’s a home for everyone

A tough tongued boy barely 10
Knocked around from henhouse to pen
Like some forgotten song
The pain has grown but not for long
Left them all not expecting to fall
Wanting to run when there’s no one to run to
An extended loan
Being gnawed away on and it eats to the bone

No matter where you go
Or what you do
Or have done
There’s a home for everyone

No matter how slow
It may take
To get to
We all gotta get home

Born an orphan happy birthday
