Hallelujah, hallelujah
God bless the child who suffers
Hallelujah, hallelujah (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 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 (Hallelujah, hallelujah)
God bless the child who suffers
Hallelujah, hallelujah (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 there is hope and faith (Hope, faith)
We must understand (Must understand)
That all God's children need is love
And us to hold their 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
And feels all hope is gone
God help them find the strength to carry on
'Cause with a little hope and faith (Hope, faith)
Yeah, we can understand
That all God's children need is love
And us to hold their little hands
(We need a little hope)
Just a little hope (Just a little faith)
With a little love (Just a little love and understanding)
They need love and understanding (Help them find their little way)
Hallelujah, hallelujah (Just a little hope, need a little faith)
Let us all love one another (With a little hope)
Hallelujah, hallelujah (With a little faith)
Make all our hearts blind to color (Just a little love)
Hallelujah, hallelujah (Hallelujah, hallelujah)
God bless the child who suffers
