Waifs and strays
Waifs and strays come forthTo gather round the fire
Seeking warmth and empathy
To drag them from the mire
Its not the common look of hatred
Thats stamped upon their faces
Just the haunted look of vagrancy
And that has left its traces
Suffer little children
So they may come to me
He should look into the pitiful eyes
O those that cannot see
They've lost the faith along the way
Its not something you contrive
Its not the future makes them carry on
Just the nature to survive
The lost, lonely, beaten, abused
Runaways and wrongly accused
Scattered all across the land
To many to count, like grains of sand
