God help the outcasts  Bette Milder

I don't know if you can hear me
Or if you're even there
I don't know if you will listen
To a humble prayer
They tell me I am just a outcast
I shouldn't speak to you
Still I see your face and wonder
Were you once a outcast too

God help the outcasts
Hungry from birth
Show them the mercy
They don't find on earth
The lost and forgotten
They look you still
God help the outcasts
Or nobody will

I ask for nothing, I can get by
But I know so many less lucky than I
God help the outcasts
The poor and down trod
I thought we all were
The children of god

I don't know if there's a reason
Why some are blessed some not
Why the few you seem to favor
They fear us, flee us
Try not to see us

God help the outcasts
The tattered, the Torn
Seeking an answer to why they were born
Winds of misfortune have blown them about
You made the outcasts
Don't cast them out

The poor and unlucky
The weak and the odd
I thought we all were
The children of god
上帝幫助被遺棄者  貝蒂蜜德勒

我不知道您是否能聽見我
或者您根本就不存在
我不曉得您是否會傾聽
對於一位卑微的祈禱者
他們告訴我,我只是位被您所遺棄的人
我不應該對您有所求
依然,我看著您的臉龐而疑惑著
您是否也曾是個被遺棄者

上帝救助被遺棄者
在饑餓中出生的人們
給予他們悲憫
----他們在今世所沒有得到的
遭難與被遺忘的人們
他們依然仰望著您
上帝幫助被遺棄者
否則將無人會了

我所求無物,我能捨棄所有
但我知道有許多人並非像我一樣的幸運
上帝救助這些被遺棄者
可憐的、逐漸年邁的人
我以為我們全都是
上帝的子民

我不清楚這是否有個理由
為何有些人是被庇佑的,有些則不
為什麼他們看來得到您的寵愛
他們害怕我們、拋棄我們
試著對我們視若無睹

上帝幫助這些被遺棄者
短褐穿結的、悲傷的一群
尋求他們為何來到世上的答案
災難之風吹拂在他們之上
您使他們來到世上
別放棄他們

可憐與不幸的人們
那些虛弱的、殘缺的人啊
我以為我們全都是
上帝的子民
