• For Every Child



    For every child who cries at night

    Alone with shame and fright

    For every child who wants so much

    To only feel a gentle touch

    For the beaten child, who cries in pain

    Whose tears run silent, like the rain

    For the child used to satisfy lust

    Who never learns to love or trust

    For the child taken from her/his home

    And made to feel so all alone

    For the child whose home is just a shell

    Where life becomes a living hell

    For the child who smiles but cannot feel

    Because of scars too deep to heal

    For every child who yearns for love

    I hope and pray to God above

    To hear your cries and heal your pain

    And give you back your life again
