She walks with a beat as she works
The street in the dead of night
She's been laid off
And her kids must eat
And his money's right
A world away beneath the sun
The earth goes dry
A hungry starving people search
For food as their babies die
[Chorus]
I tell you, we can touch the world
When we meet them all at their need
We can touch them where they are
Help them to believe, touch the world
He's on the pipe and he's got the shakes
As he takes a puff
Their badges shine and there's no escape
As they lock him up
Fourteen years old and without love
The girl is livin' wild
How can it be a four month pregnancy
And she's the child
(Chorus)
I tell you, we can touch the world
When we meet them all at their need
We can touch them where they are
Help them to believe, touch the world
Round the globe people need to know
The answer's theirs today,
Someway
Somehow
We must let them know that God
Gives hope and Jesus is the way
