Lyrics
in the morning they wake
no one to hear their cry
and each time we turn our backs
another has to die
but now the time has come for all of us to see
just what kind of hell we've made their destiny
God bless the child who can make it through the day
God bless the child who can live through the hell we've made
how can we turn it round
when no one hears the sound
God bless the child ...God bless the child
as the darkness falls
they cry themselves to sleep
can't you see there's no one
to dry the tears they weep
it hard to say we could say they'll make it through the day
and its hard to believe we expect them to live this way
God bless the child who can make it through the day
God bless the child who can live through the hell we've made
how can we turn it round
when no one hears the sound
God bless the child ...God bless the child
how will he make it
why can't we see
that there's no way out...no way out
no way out.... no way out.....no doubt
solo
another day has dawned
once again tears they fall
for it seems that this day
is the darkest of them all
no light has come to pass though the day is well on it's way
for it seems in the dark of the night they've stolen the day
God bless the child who can make it through the day
God bless the child who can live through the hell we've made
how can we turn it round
when no one hears the sound
God bless the child ...God bless the child
God bless the child teach the blind man now to see
God bless the child God bless you and me
What are we gonna do
even your child too
God bless the child...God bless the child
