A little hope

life

I see a baby crying in the streets
I look around to see if anybody’s listening

I see a baby crying in the streets

Why is the baby crying?
Why is the baby in the streets?

Is the baby crying for me?
Whose baby is it anyway?

I mean does it belong to me?
Where is the family?

Should I wake up?
Should I stay asleep?

When there’s a baby crying
in the streets, endlessly

How can the shepherd sleep?
When there’s missing sheep

To be brought back
into the fold out of the cold

Shaded from the sun
it’s an unattended child

In the middle of the streets

People walking by
Just walking by
People… walking… by

Who’s going to cares for the missing child
who’s been out there for a while?

It’s everybody’s baby

IT’S A GIRL, IT’S A BOY

Not man’s toy
to break and destroy

Children far from home
All alone and afraid of the dark

Please turn on the lights
Bring our babies home

Safe from harm
back into loving arms

Wake up my people

Be the change you want to see
Look out your window

It’s not hard to perceive

There’s a baby crying in the streets
who needs to be happily?

In a loving home
with a family

To wipe their tears away

Be the change

You
Want
To
See

There’s a baby crying in the streets
