Hungry Child Lyrics

You can see them in the cities 'cause they're out there on the streets

With Rags upon their shoulders and no shoes on their feet

As people pass, they turn their heads, and force a constant smile

How can I walk by another hungry child?

I took her to the doctor, I tried to do my share

He asked her when she'd eaten last, all she could do was stare

The doctor said starvation was God's own work defiled

How can I walk by another hungry child?

It's just a bunch of numbers, can't you see it's just a game?

With the winners and the losers, the successful and insane

With all the world's treasures here laid out at our feet

We can't take them with us, so let's let the children eat

How can I walk by another hungry child?

The doctors tried to save her, but it was just too late

I looked into her eyes to see an angel meet her fate

She's over in the graveyard, go and sit with her awhile

Then try to walk by another hungry child

Oh how can I walk by another hungry child?
