Lyrics

I don’t know if You can hear me or if You’re e ven there.

I don’t know if You would lis ten

to a gyp sy’s prayer.

Yes, I know I’m just an out cast, I should n’t speak to You.

Still, I see Your face and won der,

were You once an out cast too?

God help the out casts,

hun gry from birth.

Show them the mer cy they don’t find on earth.

God help my peo ple, they look to You still.

God help the out casts or no bod y will.

I ask for wealth.

I ask for fame.

I ask for glo ry to shine on my name.

I ask for love

I can pos sess.

I ask for God and His an gels to bless

me.

I ask for noth ing.

I can get by,

but I know so man y less luck y than I.

Please help my peo ple, the poor and down trod.

I thought we all were the chil dren of God.

God help the out casts,

chil dren of God.
