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
