Hurting Child

In the middle of the night, 
No one heard the boy 
Who cried himself to sleep 
Didn't care about himself cuz 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 the hurting child, 
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, didnt know about her pain 
Though it was right there 
No one said they cared 
And the burden of the world was put 
On a 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 
Said the world was put 
On a 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 
...I was that hurting child
