Hurting Child Lyrics
In the middle of the night no one heard the boy who cried himself to sleep
Didn't care about himself cause 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 a hurting child, a 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
Didn't know about her pain though it was right there, no one said they cared
And the burden of the world was put on the 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
The world was put on the 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, hurt for the children
Thats what im telling you
Sing for the children, dream for the children, smile for the children
I was a hurting child.

i was recently at one of George's concerts, and he basically explained how this song was about how there are so many people in the world who are 'hurting', but at the same time, are so strong. how they're able to continue on everyday, and survive even though they're living in terrible conditions (as a general statement)
"I sing for the children, dream for the children, cry for the children now"
