Hurry up and come back Was the last thing she said to her son The day his life was taken She didn’t know he wouldn’t come back He died from the bullet of a gun And now her little boy is gone
CHORUS INTRO
She said HELP ME Lord HELP ME And she looked up to the sky And she heard a voice reply
CHORUS:
When you cry I cry I cry along with you When you smile I smile I smile along with you (repeat)

Another baby left homeless Abandoned when he was two So the street side kids at the shopping mall Was the family he knew It’s not easy being homeless Sometimes you have to do what you have to do And he didn’t have a mom or dad To help him get threw
CHORUS INTRO
He said HELP ME FATHER HELP ME And he looked up to the sky And he heard a voice reply
CHORUS:
When you cry I cry I cry along with you When you smile I smile I smile along with you (repeat)
