Jupiter's Child

Words and music by Michael Monarch, John Kay and Jerry Edmonton

 The one who reads the stars has told me
 Why you're not like everyone
 Your father is a fiery wizard
 He travels all around the sun
 No one ever knew just where you came from
 Orphan girl, you grew up wild
 Your father left you on the way home
 Yes, girl, you're a Jupiter's child

 Wish I knew the way back
 Back to where you came
 Gladly I would leave here
 Take another name
 I can tell by you, it must be true
 It's up on Jupiter's face
 They don't embrace our own disgrace
 Somebody, help me off this place

 You never really quite belonged
 Like a pearl among the swine
 You tried to live the way we do
 Hoping you would learn in time
 But, mankind, with all it's virtue
 Will soon make you lose your smile
 On this earth, with all it's madness
 Heaven help a Jupiter's child

 Wish I knew the way back
 Back to where you came
 Gladly I would leave here
 Take another name
 I can tell by you, it must be true
 It's up on Jupiter's face
 They don't embrace our own disgrace
 Somebody, get me off this place
