hurting child

in the middle of the night

no one heard the boy

who cried himself to sleep

didn't care about himself cuz he

hurt too much

he was hurt too much

and the burden of the world was put

on a hurting child

hurting child

who never smiled

the world was put on the hurting child

hurting child

i sing for the hurting child

i sing for the hurting child

in the middle of the fight

no one saw the girl who thought it

was her fault

didnt know about her pain

though it was right there

no one said they cared

and the burden of the world was put

on a hurting child

hurting child

who never smiled

the world was put on the hurting child

hurting child

i sing for the hurting child

i sing for the children

dream for the children

cry for the children now

so i sing for the children

dream for the children

smile for the children now

said the world was put

on a hurting child

hurting child

who never smiled

the world was put on the hurting child

hurting child

i sing for the hurting child

i sing for the children

dream for the children

cry for the children now

so i sing for the children

dream for the children

smile for the children

i was that hurting child
