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 plays 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 brother
Some are born addicted and some are just thrown away Some have daddies who make them play games they don't want to play
But with hope and faith We must understand All God's children need is love And us to hold their little hands
This boy is hungry, he ain't got enought to eat That girl's cold and she ain't got no shoes on her feet
When a child's spirit's broken And feels all hope is gone God help them find the strength to carry on
But with hope and faith Yea, we can understand All God's children need is love And us to hold their little hands
Hallelujah, hallelujah Let us all love one another Hallelujah, hallelujah Make all our hearts bilnd to color Hallelujah, hallelujah God bless the child who suffers
