Somebody's Baby
He sits with his feet crossed
His back up against a bus stop
Holding a sign that says
"Down on my luck"
His face tells a story
Of heartbreak and trouble
He's looking for something
More than a buck
Many years ago
His life full of promise
One day he took
A desperate turn
Regret fills his days
Now that he's older
But some things are just
Too hard to unlearn
Everybody's somebody's baby
Every kid wants a shot at life's game
Every heart needs some light to hold on to
Every soul knows the feeling
Of desperation and pain
At the end of the street
Lies an old stone cathedral
Where the saints and the sinners
Are one and the same
There on a pew
Sits a forgotten memory
There's nobody left
To remember their name
Everybody's somebody's baby
Every kid wants a shot at life's game
Every heart needs some light to hold on to
Every soul knows the feeling
Of desperation and pain
Down at the border
They're waiting in cages
Women and children
Their eyes filled with pain
They ask Lady Liberty
"When will you see us"
God only knows
They're waiting in vain
Everybody's somebody's baby
Every kid wants a shot at life's game
Every heart needs some light to hold on to
Every soul knows the feeling
Of desperation and pain
Everybody's somebody's baby
Every kid wants a shot at life's game
Every heart needs some light to hold on to
Every soul knows the feeling
Of desperation and pain
His back up against a bus stop
Holding a sign that says
"Down on my luck"
His face tells a story
Of heartbreak and trouble
He's looking for something
More than a buck
Many years ago
His life full of promise
One day he took
A desperate turn
Regret fills his days
Now that he's older
But some things are just
Too hard to unlearn
Everybody's somebody's baby
Every kid wants a shot at life's game
Every heart needs some light to hold on to
Every soul knows the feeling
Of desperation and pain
At the end of the street
Lies an old stone cathedral
Where the saints and the sinners
Are one and the same
There on a pew
Sits a forgotten memory
There's nobody left
To remember their name
Everybody's somebody's baby
Every kid wants a shot at life's game
Every heart needs some light to hold on to
Every soul knows the feeling
Of desperation and pain
Down at the border
They're waiting in cages
Women and children
Their eyes filled with pain
They ask Lady Liberty
"When will you see us"
God only knows
They're waiting in vain
Everybody's somebody's baby
Every kid wants a shot at life's game
Every heart needs some light to hold on to
Every soul knows the feeling
Of desperation and pain
Everybody's somebody's baby
Every kid wants a shot at life's game
Every heart needs some light to hold on to
Every soul knows the feeling
Of desperation and pain
