The Orphan
The snow-covered ground means I can’t go outside
But the fireplace reminds me of how my folks died
The house we lived in, it went down so fast
I still hear the screaming, the burning, the blast
It’s Christmas Eve now, and tomorrow’s the day
Three years have passed since my life passed by away
Oh, what I would give for a mom or a dad
Then life wouldn’t be so hard or so bad
Holidays are surely the worst time of year
Cuz I don’t have a family to hold back my fear
Fear of a life spent completely alone
Worthless and joyless and dying unknown
There is simply one Christmas wish that I’ll make
To sleep just one night where I dream and not ache
These are so powerful.
