Unknown Child of God lyrics
He was born in hope
But he died in despair
There’s children like him
Around the world everywhere
Too many to count
Like stars up in the sky
It’s easy for the world
Just to turn a blind eye
But you had a soul
And life and laughter too
You were so unique
There was no-one quite like you
Just because you were poor
You didn’t have a chance
To dress up in a suit
And go to the ‘Prom’ dance
You played in the sewers
That flowed along your street
Amongst all the flies
In the never ending heat
And when you fell ill
There really wasn’t a debate
Your parents didn’t think
Until it was far too late
But when the end came
And you could not be saved
You gave one last smile
And you let go, you were so brave
“You were taken but
Now is the time to give”
Said his father in tears
“So another might live”
Inside another
His heart it beats strong
He gave life to them
So that they could carry on
Unknown child of God
No-one knows your name
Unknown child of God
Your loss was not in vain
Hear the 4 winds call
“You died to save us all
You died to save us all”
Unknown child of God
No-one knows your name
Unknown child of God
Your loss was not in vain
Hear the 4 winds call
“You died to save us all
You died to save us all”
Hear the 4 winds call
“You died to save us all
You died to save us all”
