GOD BLESS THE CHILD 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 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
Chorus: 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
Bridge:
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 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 to find the strength to carry on
Bridge:
But with hope and faith Yea, we can understand All God's children need is love And us to hold their little hands
Chorus: 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
