Verse 1:
You see them at the airport
Standing to one side
Unaccompanied minors
Who cross a great divide
Between their warring parents
In another time and place
These are the orphans of the skies
These are the orphans of the skies
Though their hearts are breaking
Their faces ever brave
Holding on to pieces
Of their lives they try to save
Happier times and memories
Where love and laughter reigned
These are the orphans of the skies
These are the orphans of the skies
Bridge:
When you feel like giving up
On home and family
Try to see what tears at me when I see
The orphans of the skies
(I see) the orphans of the skies
Orphans of the skies
The orphans of the skies
