Hallelujah, hallelujah,
God bless the child who suffers
Hallelujah, hallelujah,
God bless the young without mothers
This child is homeless,
That child's on crack
One blaze with a gun,
while the other takes a bullet in his back
This boy's a beggar,
That girl sells her soul
They both work the same street,
The same hell hole
Hallelujah, hallelujah,
God bless the child who suffers
Hallelujah, hallelujah,
Let every man help his brotherSome are born addicted and some are just thrown away
Some have daddies who make them play games they don't want to playBut there's hope and faith
We must understand
All God's children need is love
And us to hold their little handsThis boy is hungry, he ain't got enought to eat
That girl's cold and she ain't got no shoes on her feetWhen a child's spirit's broken
And feels all hope is gone
God help them find the strength to carry on
'cos with a little hope and faith
Yeah, we can understand
that All God's children need is love
And us to hold their little hands
(with a little hope)just a little hope
(just a little faith) with a little love
(just a little love and understand)
I need love and understandingHallelujah, hallelujah
Let us all love one another
Hallelujah, hallelujah
Make all our hearts blind to color
Hallelujah, hallelujah
God bless the child who suffers
