Wenche Hartman - The Orphan (Beyond These Walls) Lyrics

(Lonnie C. Ratliff / Knud Erik Smidt)

(Chorus)
Beyond these walls is another world
A world with Moms and Daddies, little boys and girls
The things they do together they consider small
It's hard to believe the world beyond these walls

Behind these walls it's a simple life
A roof o'er his head, three meals a day
No one treats him wrong, they hardly notice him
Life could be much worse for an orphan so they say

(Chorus)
Beyond these walls is another world
A world with Moms and Daddies, little boys and girls
The things they do together they consider small
It's hard to believe the world beyond these walls

Behind these walls time drags on and on
For someone's little burden someone who's long gone
He has her photograph did she love him or not
A new day slips away life slowly moves along

(Inst.)

(Chorus)
Beyond these walls is another world
A world with Moms and Daddies, little boys and girls
The things they do together they consider small
It's hard to believe the world beyond these walls

Someday like an eagle he'll fly beyond these walls
Someday by the grace of God, he'll forget it all
