Lyrics
'Stray'
When I was just a little girl
I cared for anything left lonely
Birds n' rabbits, cats n' dogs
Anything without a home, see
I could never walk on by
I knew I'd only sit and cry
If I could help I knew I would
Turn something bad into good
Cos if they're stray there's gotta be a way
Helpless here n' helpless there
We gotta find a place for you to stay
Cos if they're stray, they'll need help some day
N' loving arms gotta come their way
If they're stray, they'll need help some day.
Something told me right from wrong
That gentle souls must find a home
Any creature on its own, should never be left out alone
See someone's got to bring them back
Someone's got to think of that
Anyone can play their part
And save a precious beating heart
Cos if they're stray there's gotta be a way
Helpless here n' helpless there
We gotta find a place for you to stay
Cos if they're stray, they'll need help some day
N' loving arms gotta come their way
If they're stray, they'll need help some day.
I don't wanna be the one to tell you you got nowhere to go
People tell me all the time this world is on a slippery slope
Things are getting worse but there's nothing worse than life without hope
Take the world by storm and make a life for some sweet lost precious soul
Cos if they're stray there's gotta be a way
Helpless here n' helpless there
We gotta find a place for you to stay
Cos if they're stray, they'll need help some day
N' loving arms gotta come their way
If they're stray, they'll need help some day.
