《The Orphan》歌词

[00:00:00] The Orphan - Marla Schaffel/Don Richard

[00:00:00] Written by：Paul Gordon/John Caird/Mike Berniker

[00:00:01] A flood of memory washes over me

[00:00:05] A lonely girl betrayed and battered

[00:00:11] Contrives affection from a doll she cradles so

[00:00:15] Thinking it will be the only love she'll ever know

[00:00:25] Her spirit is in pieces

[00:00:29] Her heart has broken at the seams

[00:00:32] She craves one drop of kindness

[00:00:36] But all she has are shattered dreams

[00:00:39] She curses the injustice

[00:00:43] And begs to know the reason why

[00:00:46] She suffers in this prison

[00:00:50] When all she wants to do is fly

[00:00:54] Over mountains

[00:00:56] Over oceans

[00:00:58] How her restlessness stirs

[00:01:03] For she longs for her liberty

[00:01:06] When will liberty be hers

[00:01:12] Her life is not of value

[00:01:16] Poverty secures her fate

[00:01:19] Condemned to be a woman

[00:01:23] Barely fit to educate

[00:01:26] She swallows her rebellion

[00:01:30] But there's a storm within her breast

[00:01:32] She tries to quell the downpour

[00:01:37] Yet cannot tame her soul's unrest

[00:01:41] And the lightning strikes inside her

[00:01:45] As she looks to the sky

[00:01:49] And she pledges to spread her wings

[00:01:52] Through a hurricane she'll fly

[00:01:56] Over mountains

[00:01:57] Over oceans

[00:01:59] How her restlessness stirs

[00:02:04] For she longs for her liberty

[00:02:07] When will liberty be hers

[00:02:14] There's no sight so sad

[00:02:17] No stench so bad

[00:02:19] As that of a naughty girl

[00:02:23] No crime so grave

[00:02:25] As children who misbehave

[00:02:31] When a girl can't be saved

[00:02:34] God hears her plea

[00:02:37] But he leaves her soul to me
