I don't know if You can hear me
Or if You're even there
I don't know if You would listen
To a gypsy's prayer
Yes, I know I'm just an outcast
I shouldn't speak to You
Still I see Your face and wonder
Were You once an outcast too?
God help the outcasts
Hungry from birth
Show them the mercy
They don't find on earth
The lost and forgotten
They look to You still
God help the outcasts
Or nobody will
I ask for wealth, I ask for fame
I ask for glory to rise on my name
I ask for all I can possess
I ask for God and the angels to bless me [ Lyrics from: http://www.lyricsmode.com/lyrics/d/disney/god_help_the_outcasts.html ]
I ask for nothing
I can get by
But I know so many
Less lucky than I
God help the outcasts
The poor and downtrod
I thought we all were
The children of God
I don't know if there's a reason
Why some are blessed, some not
Why the few You seem to favor
They fear us, flee us, try not to see us
God help the outcasts
The tattered, the torn
Seeking an answer
To why they were born
Winds of misfortune
Have blown them about
You made the outcasts
Don't cast them out
The poor and unlucky
The weak and the odd
I thought they all were
The children of God
My meaning is that so many people want their lige better and then this supposedly evil person is praying not for herself but for others and it is just touching.

To me the lyrics mean that she is asking god to help the outcasts which in the movie were the hunchback and the gypsies, she asking god a selfless request, to help them. I love this song

I absolutely love the song from the hunchback of notre damn, but these are so not the right lyrics for it! I don't know if maybe there is more than one version... But i don't like this one! Sorry
