Lyrics

THERE'S A BOY IN AN ALLEY LIVIN' ON THE STREET
FAMILY AND FRIENDS, HE HAS NONE
TIL HE KNELT ON HIS KNEES DEAR LORD
I'M SORRY FOR EVERYTHING I'VE DONE
NOW HES WRAPPED UP TIGHT IN THE FATHER’S ARMS
OH SO CLOSE BUT FAR FROM WORLDLY HARM
AND HE CRIES HOLD ME CLOSE, I LOVE YA SO
IT’S DARK OUT THERE AND I DON’T WANNA GO AWAY FROM YOU
FAR FROM HOME ALL ALONE
THERE’S A GIRL ON THE CORNER WALKIN' A FINE LINE
MEN THEY PAY HER FOR HER TIME
TEL, SHE FELL TO HER KNEES PLEASE LORD
TAKE ME FOR I AM NOT MINE
NOW SHE’S WRAPPED UP TIGHT IN THE FATHER’S ARMS
OH SO CLOSE BUT FAR FROM WORLDLY HARM
AND SHE CRIES HOLD ME CLOSE, I LOVE YA SO
IT’S DARK OUT THERE AND I DON’T WANNA GO AWAY FROM YOU
FAR FROM HOME ALL ALONE
NOW I’M WRAPPED UP TIGHT IN THE FATHER’S ARMS
OH SO CLOSE BUT FAR FROM WORLDLY HARM
AND I CRY HOLD ME CLOSE, I LOVE YA SO
IT’S DARK OUT THERE AND I DON’T WANNA GO AWAY FROM YOU
FAR FROM HOME ALL ALONE
I DON’T WANNA GO AWAY FROM YOU
FAR FROM HOME ALL ALONE
