God Bless The Child

~Shania Twain~

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 the bullet in his back

This boy's a beggar, that girl sells her soul

They both work the same street, the same hell hole.

Chorus:

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

Bridge:

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 enough to eat

That girl's 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

Bridge:

But with hope and faith

Yea, we can understand

All God's children need is love

And us to hold their little hands

Chorus:

Hallelujah, hallelujah, let us all love one another

Hallelujah, hallelujah, make all our hearts blind to colour

Hallelujah, hallelujah, God bless the child who suffers
