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 her gun While the other takes the 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 were born evicted And some were just thrown away And some have daddies Who make them play games They don't want to play But there's hope and faith And we must understand That all God's children need His love And to hold the little hands This boy is hungry, he ain't got enough to eat That girl's cold and she ain't got no shoes on her feet When a child's spirit's broken It feels all hope is gone God, help them find the strength to carry on Because with a little hope and faith If we can understand that All God's children need is love And to hold the little hands Just a little hope With a little love A little love to understand that Hallelujah, hallelujah Let us all love one another Hallelujah, hallelujah Make all our hearts blind to color Hallelujah, hallelujah God bless the child who suffers
