|
I don't know if You can hear me
|
Or if You're even there
|
I don't know if You would listen
|
To a gypsy's prayer
|
Yes I know i'm just an outcast
|
I shouldn't speak to you
|
Still I see Your face and wonder
|
Were You once an outcast too?
|
|
God help the outcasts
|
Hungry from birth
|
Show them the mercy
|
They don't find on earth
|
The lost and forgotten
|
They look to you still
|
God help the outcasts
|
Or nobody will
|
|
Chorus: I ask for wealth
|
I ask for fame
|
I ask for glory to rise on my name
|
I ask for all I can possess
|
I ask for God and the angels to bless me
|
|
I ask for nothing
|
I can get by
|
But I know so many
|
Less lucky than I
|
God help the outcasts
|
The poor and downtrod
|
I thought we all were
|
The children of God
|
|
I don't know if there's a reason
|
Why some are blessed, some not
|
Why the few You seem to favor
|
They fear us, Flee us
|
Try not to see us
|
|
God help the outcasts
|
The tattered, the torn
|
Seeking an answer
|
To why they were born
|
Winds of misfortune
|
Have blown them about
|
You made the outcasts
|
Don't cast them out
|
The poor and unlucky
|
The weak and the odd
|
I thought they all were
|
The children of God
|
|
