"Someone to Hold"

Little child crying crying crying in the night
little child crying let me hold you hold you tight.

ahummmmmmmmmmmmmm

Cryingggggggggg . . . oh thereeeeeeee . . .

Sleep baby sleep . . .sleep baby sleep . . .

Do you have a hunger? Do you have a thirst?
Do you need a change?Tell me what is worst.

Did you have a night mare? Did you see the night flare?
Did you hear a sound? Did you feel the bomb?

Do you want your papa? Do you want your mom?
Do you cry for someone? -- someone who is gone?

I don't have no diamonds. I don't have no gold.
But I have love and hope.Here's someone to hold.

Do you have a hunger? Do you have a thirst?
Do you need a change? A change in this world?

Little child crying, crying crying in the night
little child crying, let me hold you hold you tight.
