Everyday my heart is sore
Seeing that I'm so poor
But I shall not give up so easy oooh
'Cause there's a reward for me
There's a reward for me

Though I'm bordered down with shame
There's no one for me to blame
But I shall not give up so easy
'Cause there's a reward for me, oooh yeah
There's a reward for me.

Sometimes I feel like a motherless child
You know no one cares for me
I've never known sympathy
Sometimes I look to the world with a smile
Man you hear what I say

Everyday my heart is sore
Seeing that I'm so poor
But I shall not give up so easy
Oh no no no no non no
'Cause there's a reward for me
'Cause there's a reward for me.

Sometimes I feel like a motherless child
You know no one cares for me
I've never known sympathy
Sometimes I look to the world with a smile
Man you hear what I say

Everyday my heart is sore
Seeing that I'm so poor
But I shall not give up so easy
Oh no no no no non no
'Cause there's a reward for me
'Cause there's a reward for me.
