Lyrics

Mama is dying
And Daddy is gone
I'd call the doctor
But there's no telephone
Sister is crying
And the medicine is gone
We are the lost ones
Living all alone
Icebox is empty
And the food is all gone
This wouldn't be happening
If my Daddy was home
No school tomorrow
And no love for my mother
We are the lost ones living all alone
Come help my mother
And don't let her die
I am a big boy
And I'm not supposed to cry
Go get my daddy
And bring him back home
We are the lost ones
Living all alone
I am not working
Because I am not old enough
My sisters are too small
And they cannot help us
We've all tried praying
But I don't know how to pray
We are the lost ones
Seeking help today
I'd call the neighbours
But I don't even know their names
They've lived there ten years
Oh, ain't that a shame
Don't think they'd help us
Even if I asked them to
We are the lost ones
Seeking help from you
Come help my mother
And don't let her die
I am a big boy
And I'm not supposed to cry
Come help my mother
And bring him back home
We are the lost ones
Living all alone
We are the lost ones
Living all alone
We are the lost ones
