Lyrics:

How long must I cry
About the way the world is today
How long must I cry
People about the way the world is today
I feel so helpless sometimes
All I can do is hope and pray

Babies killin' babies
Brothers killin' brothers too
I feel so sad sometimes
Ain't a thing that I can do
How long must I cry
About the way the world is today
I feel so helpless sometimes
All I can do is hope and pray

People livin' on the street
With no place left to go
How in the world can we let this happen
I swear I just don't know
How long must I cry
People about the way the world is today
I feel so helpless sometimes
And all I can do is hope and pray

I saw a rich man drivin'
A long black limousine
He had his very own hot tub
TV with a big wide screen
He wore a big fine diamond ring
Thousand dollar shoes on his feet
But somewhere there's a baby cryin'
'Cause he ain't had a thing to eat

How long must I cry
People about the way the world is today
I feel so helpless sometimes
All I can do is hope and pray
