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
