Hurting
[Verse 1]
All they wants a little wheat
They're freezing on the cold concrete
Frozen sounds out on the street
Tonight, lord, they're haunting me
Tonight, lord, they're haunting me
[Verse 2]
"Amazing Grace" was the only sound
Coming from that lonesome crowd
Prayers go up, the tears fall down
For another soldier's in the ground
Another soldier's in the ground
[Chorus]
What's the world coming to
When the only thing a man can do
Is hold on and pray the world keeps on turning
This one goes out to anyone that's hurting
[Verse 3]
Covered in dust from head to toe
Sweat dripping off a sunburned nose
Stone faced like his old scarecrow
Says if it don't rain my crop won't grow
How we gonna eat if the corn don't grow?
[Verse 4]
Watching the news gives her chill
She says "I can't believe it's real"
The deaths come and people rob and kill
For a gallon of gas or a dollar bill
What's a gallon of gas or a dollar bill?
[Chorus]
What's the world coming to
When the only thing a man can do
Is hold on and pray the world keeps on turning
This one goes out to anyone that's hurting
[Verse 5]
Sometimes when I'm alone in the darkness
I swear I can hear their voices
And ain't it much but it's the best I can do
So I just sing this song
I say a prayer for anyone, anywhere that's hurting
