Someone's Baby Lyrics

She holds out a frail old hand, says, "Please sir can you spare a dime?"

The rich man walks past her, won't even give her his time

She sits on the cold pavement, leans her head against the wall

Tears run down her hungry face, he doesn't stop to think at all

That she is someone's baby, she is someone's child

To someone somewhere she's the light in their world

She has hopes and dreams

No matter how small she seems

She has a name, a history

She is someone's baby

The blind boy holds his hands up, trying to stop the kicks and blows. What has life done to kids who don't care they broke his nose?

He lies on the cold pavement, beaten with his cane again

Tears run down his bruised face, they don't think even then

That he is someone's baby, he is someone's child

To someone somewhere he's the light in their world

He has hopes and dreams

No matter how small he seems

He has a name, a history

He is someone's baby

I see a world where there's enough love

I see a world without greed or lust for power

A world where we are kinder, appreciate each other

Leave the world better 'cause we've been here

He drags her downstairs by her hair, (please let her go) she cries out, tries to break free

Ashamed 'cause her kids watch her lose her dignity

She kneels on the cold pavement while he breaks his marriage vow

To love, honour, protect her, he doesn't think even now

That she is someone's baby, she is someone's child

To someone somewhere she's the light in their world

She has hopes and dreams

No matter how small she seems

She has a name, a history

She is someone's baby

You are someone's baby, you are someone's child

To someone somewhere you're the light in their world

Born with hopes and dreams

No matter how small you seem

You have a name, a history

You are someone's baby
