Cardboard Carousel - Rose of Sharon Lyrics

I am a brother
Raising a family
In a land that forsakes its own
I pack my bags
And head to good country
So I can send all my money home
It's been two long years
And I've not seen a penny
Working twenty-three hours a day
And I may die here
Like many before me
May never see my three sisters again
And every night
I've been crying
For someone to hear my prayers
And every day
I lose assurance
That there's anyone out there who cares
Maybe one day
These chains will be broken
By the Rose of Sharon
I am the daughter
Sold my her father
Into the hands of wicked men
For twenty Euro's
This hour you'll have me
And strip my virtue
My freedom away
And every night
I've been crying
For someone to hear my prayers
And every day
I lose assurance
That there's anyone out there who cares
Maybe one day
These chains will be broken
By the Rose of Sharon
Every day
I live a nightmare
And every night
I dream of home
Maybe one day
These chains will be broken
By the Rose of Sharon
