Do you hear the wind breezing
Gently in the eaves of this house sneezing
In the corner lies a child freezing
In his toes there is no feeling
Will no one care for this child dying
One who should at least be crying
Do you not here is silent pain screaming
While he lies there of a better place dreaming
The lonely child has no other
In this world who’d care to bother
About such a pitiful creature
To whom life has been a cruel teacher
Why should he suffer so
The lonely soul with no place to go
Will no one take him in
Give food, shelter, love him
I will talk no more
For it will not better his score
Instead I go to him
And I will care for him
In my heart a home he will receive
And a hearth, food and a bed I give
For a poor child in such poor weather
Should in all men’s hearts compassion tether
Nobody should live loveless
A commodity that is priceless
To give has never cost less
Come now, child, and follow me
In safety you will be
No longer such sorrow on you
But happiness here waits for you
This is only the beginning
I will continue giving
Until all the world’s children have a home
A place, a family all their own
