Hurting People

Help the hurting people
Help the hurting people

Little children hurting
Crying, sometimes dying
By a loved one's hand
Do you look away
Maybe shed a tear
But never take a stand

Ignore your heart and conscience
Don't see the pain of injustice

If you love them
Won't you show them
Then we'll help them
Help the hurting people
Will you reach out
To their struggles
Then we'll help them
Help the hurting people

Many women hurting
Crying, sometimes dying
By a loved one's hand
Do they have a hope
Do they have a prayer
For a better life somewhere

Don't close your eyes to heartache
Oh, be the light in their darkness

And if you love them
Won't you show them
Then we'll help them
Help the hurting people
Will you reach out
To their struggles
Then we'll help them
Help the hurting people

If you love them
Won't you show them
Then we'll help them
Help the hurting people
Won't you come on and reach out
To their struggles
Then we'll help them
Help the hurting people

Don't you close your eyes to heartache
Oh, be the light in their darkness

If you love them
Won't you show them
Then we'll help them
Help the hurting people
Why don't you reach out
To their struggles
Then we'll help them
Help the hurting people

You got to love them
We got to show them
We got to help them
Why don't you reach out
To their struggles
Then we'll help them
Help the hurting people
