The Orphans Cry

I found this wonderful song on our adoption agency's website.

The Orphans Cry
By Jeff Fannin, Morehead KY


All around the world tears are falling. Like raindrops that are stored in children's eyes. Living in a world that doesn't want them. Feeling all alone the orphan cries. Lying down to sleep, to ignore the hunger. Thankful that another days passed by. They dread to see the morning, should it even come. No hope for tomorrow the orphan cries...Chorus...As an orphan cries will we choose to listen; or close our ears and hearts and turn away. How can we ignore them any longer. And let them live without hope one more day. We know that we can't change all the world. But can't we change just one or even try? While we linger in our ease for an answer, another orphan's gone that used to cry...We find ourselves faced with a decision. One that truthfully takes us by surprise. What can we even do to make a difference. But open up our hearts, our homes, our lives. By giving we receive more that we've given. And that which we receive no one can buy. As we look into their eyes we see the blessing. To know there's one less orphan now to cry...I never imagined stading here. With this thought upon my mind. I never knew my eyes were closed. I never knew that I was so blind. But now my eyes and heart are open. And I see more than with just my eyes. I'm reaching out with all God's given me, cause I can hear the orphan's cry.
Sniff,Sniff,Sniff.....
