Lyrics

He's never had a family that he can call his own
Always been a guest in someone else's home
And if he's not too much trouble he can stay here for a while
He'll be fed, He'll have a bed
But he's nobody's child

What is he running for
He closes another door
His heart yearns for something more
He can't say for sure

They don't talk about his mother
They say it's such a shame
He never knew his father
He doesn't even know his name
And when he's old enough they'll age him out
They'll close the file
He'll be alone, out on his own, nobody's child

He's always second rate
Just another ward of the state
Inside his heart quietly bleeds
Love is what he needs

What is he running for
He closes another door
His heart yearns for something more
He can't say for sure
He's always second rate
Just another ward of the state
Inside his heart quietly bleeds
Love is what he needs
