Lyrics
Heal The Wounded Child
A child is born so helpless
Clear as a sparkling jewel
Born into life’s wilderness
Sometimes so careless and cruel
But when we’re together we can ease the pain
It’s up to each of us to break the chain and
Heal the wounded child
Although it hurts, go on and face it
Heal the wounded child
Embrace that wounded place in your heart
Sometimes I hide my feelings
When I see love in your eyes
But when I try revealing
You think I’m telling you lies
But when we’re together we can ease the pain
It’s up to each of us to break the chain and
Chorus
What if as children we
Learned to see
Our own beauty
Finding the strength to change and grow
And share what we know
Sometimes I look around me
At faces familiar or new
Everyone’s got a story
Of the hard times they’ve been through
But when we’re together we can ease the pain
It’s up to each of us to break the chain and
Chorus
