No Answer Came

I was born
With a name
That nobody wants to know
I was born
Without a home
And without a place to go
I was born
With a question
Whose answer I'll never know
I was born
With a name
That nobody, nobody, wants to know
Woke up in the night
With someone banging at my door
Then a voice cried
I don't want to see you 'round here no more
So I cried
I cried
'Cause I ain't never been here before
Cried "Why?"
Cried "Why? When I ain't done nothing to you now?"
Cried "Why?"
Cried "Why? When you don't even know my name?"
But just like before
No answer came
I was born
With a name
That nobody, that nobody wants to know
Cried "Why?"
Cried "Why? When I ain't done nothing to you?"
Cried "Why?"
Cried "Why? When you don't even know my name now?"
But just like before
No answer came
No answer came
No answer came
I wonder why
I didn't get an answer
You know I went to the Lord
God almighty
He called me to go to the mourning bench
I went there, got down on my knees
I said, "Lord, won't you help me right now?"
You know I prayed all night long
I moaned all night long
I want to know why I didn't get an answer
Tell me why, right now
