Hallelujah, Hallelujah

God bless the child who suffers [Hallelujah]

Hallelujah [Hallelujah] Hallelujah [Hallelujah]

God bless the young without mothers

This child is homeless, that childs on crack

One plays with a gun while the other takes the bullet in his back

This boys 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 were born addicted and some are just thrown away

And some have daddies who make them play games they don't want to play

 But there's hope [hope] and faith [faith] that we must understand

That all God's children need is love and us to hold their little hands, yeah

 [ ]

This boy is hungry, he ain't got enough to eat

That girls cold and she ain't got no shoes on her feet

When a child's spirits broken and feels all hope is gone

God help them find the strength to carry on

 Cause with a little hope [hope] and faith [faith] if we can understand,

That all God's children need is love and us to hold their little hands, yeah

 [With a little hope] Just a little hope

 [Just a little faith] With a little love

[Just a little love and understanding] A little love and understanding

[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.
