"Abandoned"

With tears in her eyes a desperate mother pleads
"Please take in my son I can not fulfill his needs"

The guard at the orphanage has to send her away
She's the third such mother to show up here today

In frustration she abandons her boy on the street
praying that God will provide a way for him to eat

Tears start falling down his sad sweet young face
"Please mother don't leave me alone in this place"

Her heart is breaking as she leaves hearing him cry
It's better this way she thinks than seeing him die

Today that abandoned boy is singing for some cash
maybe tonight he won't have to eat from the trash
