Shania Twain

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 is on crack
one plays with a gun while the other takes the bullet in his back

This boy is a baker,
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 brothers

Some are born addicted and
some are just thrown away
somehow that is to make them play games they don't wanna play

But there is hope and faith
and we must understand
that all gods children need is love and
us to hold their little hands

This boy is hungry
he ain't got enough to eat
That girl is cold
and she ain't got no shoes on her feet

When a child's spirit is broken
and feels all hope is gone
God help them find the strength to carry on
Cause with a little hope and faith and
we can understand that all gods children need is love and
us to hold their little hands

Just a little hope with a little love
A little love and understanding

Let our soul love one another
Let god make our hearts blind to color, hallelujah
Hallelujah
God bless the child who suffers
