Lyrics
What has happened to our town?
There's people sleepin' on the ground
Cold and lost, they fear the night
Left alone, they lose the fight
Hadn't we better reach
For more than just a dime?
Shouldn't we try to talk
That boy out of his crime?
Haven't you had it
Knowing nothing's getting solved?
Maybe we'd better
Better get involved
We could stop the hurtin' for awhile
We could stop the hurtin' for awhile, whoa
If we found a way to reconcile
We could stop the hurtin'
Families livin' in their cars
And kids run numbers out of bars, hey
Knowing pride won't pay the bills
Men work jobs beneath their skills, yeah
Hadn't we better hand out
More than just a line?
Shouldn't we try to find
Solutions with our minds?
Haven't you had it,
Knowing nothing's getting solved?
Maybe we'd better
Better get involved
We could stop this hurtin' for awhile
We could stop this hurtin' for awhile
If we found a way to reconcile
We could stop the hurtin'
We could stop the hurtin', baby
We could stop the hurtin' for awhile, whoa
We could stop it for awhile
(We could stop it for awhile)
If we found a way to reconcile
(If we found a way to reconcile)
We could stop, we could stop
We could stop the hurtin' for awhile, whoa
We could stop the hurtin' for awhile
(Ooh, we could stop)
If we found a way to reconcile
(If we found a way)
We could stop, we could stop
We could stop it
We could stop it
We could stop it
We could stop
We could stop the hurtin' for awhile
(We could stop it)
We could stop the hurtin' for awhile
(We could stop it)
If we found a way to reconcile
(We could stop it)
We could stop, we could stop
We could stop the hurtin' for awhile
(We could stop it)
We could stop it for awhile
(We could stop it)
If we found a way to reconcile
(We could stop it)
We could stop, we could stop
