Everybody Wants An Animal - Third Life - Imran SiddiquiWe bring home strays from the cold,Paint their names in silver and gold,Feed them, clothe them, call them family,But down the street, a child waits alone,No hand to hold, no place called home,And we scroll right past their tragedy.God keeps whispering their names,But we turn away, chasing softer pains,Loving creatures while the orphaned children cry,Tell me, will you be able to look Him in the eye?Everyone wants a puppy, everyone wants a cat,But where’s the love for the child who prays for that?Thousands of little hearts in America tonight,Waiting for a family, but most lose the fight.God says take care of themBut we turn around and run,We leave the forgotten ones… We abandon the orphan.You abandon the orphan.You guys celebrate animal rescue stories online,Click and share, say, “Look how kind,”But the orphan’s face gets no applause.No holiday candles, no bedtime song,Just another number waiting too long,Running a broken system, and you call it a holy cause.The One in the Heavens and the earths He is watching every single tear,Every year that disappears,We build a world of second chances,But not for the orphans left in silence.Everyone wants a puppy, everyone wants a cat,But where’s the love for the child who prays for that?Thousands of little hearts in America tonight,Waiting for a family, but most lose the fight.God says take care of them, But we turn around and run,We leave the forgotten ones… We abandon the orphan.You abandon the orphan.It’s not their fault, they didn’t choose this,Their parents are gone, but where is your conscience?If the love of God means to you what you say,Then why do you look the other way?Everyone wants a puppy, everyone wants a cat,But where’s the love for the child who prays for that?Thousands of little hearts in America tonight,Waiting for a family, but most lose the fight.God says care for the orphan, But we turn around and run,We leave the forgotten ones… We abandon the forgotten one.You abandon the orphan.Everyone wants a puppy, everyone wants a cat,But where’s the love for the child who prays for that?Thousands of little hearts in America tonight,Waiting for a family, but most lose the fight.God says take care of them, But we turn around and run,We leave the forgotten ones… We abandon the orphan.You abandon the orphan.((You can change their story, you can be the one.Let them grow up believing they’re… Not The forgotten ones.You can change their story, you can be the one.Let them grow up knowing they’re… Not just orphans.))
