Orphan Child by Gillian Welch

I am an orphan, on God's highway
but I'll share my trouble if you're going my way

I have no mother, no father, no sister, no brother
I am an orphan child.

I have had friendships, pure and golden
but the prize of kinship, I have not known it,

I have no mother, no father, no sister, no brother,
I am an orphan child

Oh Blessed Saviour, if you are willing,
walk beside me until I'm with them

Be my mother, my father, my sister, my brother
I am an orphan child

When He calls me I will be able
to meet my family at God's table

I'll meet my mother, my father, my sister, my brother
No more an orphan child
