Country ballad about an orphan becoming a father and making his own family.

lyrics

The Orphan
by Ben Mitchell

I had no one to call momma
No one ever called me son
I knew no name other
Than ‘The Orphan’

Where were you born kids often asked me
I’d tell them that I did not know
Some place that I never did see
Some place that I’ll never go

And I would say for sure
That life ain't nothin' more
Than lost hope and found pain
Then more of the same

What day is your birthday?
The other question always came
I never knew quite what to say
I guess it will always be that way

CHORUS

Then I found someone to love
And we had children of our own
Now I know it’s more than enough
Now I know I'll never be alone, cause

I have someone calls me Pappa
And someone I can call my very own
Now I am something other
Than ‘The Orphan’
