Sophia

The road winds up through the mountain
To the simple building at the top
A shelter for the orphan
The cast away, the beaten up
That's when I first saw her
In the corner of the room
It took my breath away
And there was nothing I could say
Cuz she broke my heart in two

Sophia, I will hold you a little longer
There's nothing else that I can do
I don't know if you'll remember me
But Lord knows I can't
Forget about you

She held tight to me as I walked
I saw joy in her face
Though she could never talk
She smiled and laughed like she
Was on top of the world
Like she didn't even know
She was a little orphan girl
Too soon the time came to leave her
We carried her back into the room
As she started to cry a little part of me died
With the saddest sound I ever knew

Sophia, I will hold you a little longer
There's nothing else that I can do
I don't know if you'll remember me
But Lord knows I can't
Forget about you

I don't know why I've got it so good
It wouldn't be this way if you and I
Were judged as we should
Cuz I'll go home to family
But you've got no one
And you're cryin' as you're left there all alone
And I'm praying for my God to bring you home
Be your home

Sophia, I will hold you a little longer
There's nothing else that I can do
I don't know if you'll remember me
But Lord knows I can't
Forget about you

I know He won't
Forget about you
