| How long must I cry
|
| People about the way the world is today
|
| I feel so helpless sometimes
|
| All I can do is hope and pray
|
| Babies killin' babies
|
| Brothers killin' brothers too
|
| I feel so sad sometimes
|
| Ain’t a thing that I can do How long must I cry
|
| About the way the world is today
|
| I feel so helpless sometimes
|
| All I can do is hope and pray
|
| People livin' on the street
|
| With no place left to go How in the world can we let this happen
|
| I swear I just don’t know
|
| How long must I cry
|
| People about the way the world is today
|
| I feel so helpless sometimes
|
| And all I can do is hope and pray
|
| I saw a rich man drivin'
|
| A long black limousine
|
| He had his very own hot tub
|
| TV with a big wide screen
|
| He wore a big fine diamond ring
|
| Thousand dollar shoes on his feet
|
| But somewhere there’s a baby cryin'
|
| 'Cause he ain’t had a thing to eat
|
| How long must I cry
|
| People about the way the world is today
|
| I feel so helpless sometimes
|
| All I can do is hope and pray |
