God Bless The Child (Extended Remix)

(album: The Woman In Me - 1995)

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

But there's hope and faith
We 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
Yea, we can understand
That 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 blind to color
Hallelujah, hallelujah
God bless the child who suffers
