Jennifer Hudson - Hush Child Lyrics
(Verse)Silent nightHoly nightPoverty on the riseWealthy reverend in designer clothesHomeless children with frostbitten toesSleeping in the streetSleeping in the street(Verse)I ain’t tryna be philosophicalBut it’s not logicalSome folks out here freezing, others chilling like it’s tropical(Verse)The indifference is very crazyLike poverty’s contagiousMy hands are dirty but I’m still worriedStep in my shoes and walk in some mercy(Verse)They say this is your punishment for such poor judgmentBut you must’ve lost your mindHow you gon feed it when you’re barely eating?Get ready for the wealth and lieI ain’t tryna hear itYou make the bed, lay in itBut I’m way too strong for you to break my spirit(Verse)Is it me?Am I the cause of all my mother’s misery?This cloud of secrecy on my paternityDid my very birth destroy my whole family?(Verse)I’m just a sinner, I know who I amJust a beginner, I’m not yet a manSend me a signal, I’ll follow your lightJust help me through this silent night(Chorus)Hush child, it’ll be alrightI’ll get you through this silent nightHush child, it’ll be alrightI’ll get you through this silent night(Verse)This ain’t livingI got a mouth to feedBut I can’t make this in my sleepGot it be fictionalJust with my luck don’t hear my prayersI never been this hurtThe silence is too loud for meLife just ain’t fair(Verse)Is anyone out there?Does anyone care?Is anyone listening?Is anyone there?Just let me know that I’m a part of your planThat you’re watching over and over them(Verse)And where we are now?How do we find our way?Running from God, you’re scaredWith no place to stay(Chorus x2)Hush child, it’ll be alrightI’ll get you through this silent nightHush child, it’ll be alrightI’ll get you through this silent nightHush child, it’ll be alrightWe’ll do this togetherSleep in heavenly beatsSleep in heavenly beats
