Lyrics
Somebody's Daughter
The only thing clean
In that filthy place
Were lines that her tears
Had cut down her face
Trembling she's startled
By each passing sound
No one looks at her
There on the ground
Surrounded by people
She's there all alone
Her cardboard sign says
I just want to go home
She's Somebody's Daughter
Somebody's Sister
Somebody's Little Girl
Somewhere someone's
Praying Someday She'll come back
Sometime Soon
Like everyone else
I just walked on by
I tried not to notice
The pain in her eyes
So busy with something
I couldn't be late
Now I can't remember
What just couldn't wait
But I can still see her
Each night in my dreams
How could I do nothing
My conscience just screams
She's Somebody's Daughter
Somebody's Sister
Somebody's Little Girl
Somewhere someone's
Praying Someday She'll come back
Sometime Soon
I Wish I'd bought her ticket home
I Wish I'd not been such a fool
I wish I could know I should
Wish I could Tell her I'm Sorry
But Sorry's no good
