Clara was just a girl
Barely ten years old
She had no one in the world
And the world grew cold
At the time her mother died
Her chances in life denied
She sobbed for many years
And lived off her own tears
She faced so much abuse
She was tortured and bruised
It drove her to tree one day
And she began to pray
Why did you take mummy
You knew I'd be alone
I sleep with an empty tummy
What have I really done
I'm too young to fend for myself
But I still want to believe
That you'll somehow make a way
Tomorrow might be a better day
A stranger overheard her cry
And than she wiped her eyes
She said you can come with me
Your mother I will be
Clara is all grown up now
And she made just one vow
To care for the orphan child
Coz they grow up too wild
