(with Luke James, Jacob Latimore & Grace Gibson)

|
Silent night
|
Holy night
|
Poverty on the rise
|
Wealthy reverend in designer clothes
|
Homeless children with frostbitten toes
|
Sleeping in the street
|
Sleeping in the street
|
|
(Verse)
|
I ain't tryna be philosophical
|
But it's not logical
|
Some folks out here freezing, others chilling like it's tropical
|
|
(Verse)
|
The indifference is very crazy
|
Like poverty's contagious
|
My hands are dirty but I'm still worried
|
Step in my shoes and walk in some mercy
|
|
(Verse)
|
They say this is your punishment for such poor judgment
|
But you must've lost your mind
|
How you gon feed it when you're barely eating?
|
Get ready for the wealth and lie
|
I ain't tryna hear it
|
You make the bed, lay in it
|
But 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 paternity
|
Did my very birth destroy my whole family?
|
|
(Verse)
|
I'm just a sinner, I know who I am
|
Just a beginner, I'm not yet a man
|
Send me a signal, I'll follow your light
|
Just help me through this silent night
|
|
Chorus:
|
Hush child, it'll be alright
|
I'll get you through this silent night
|
Hush child, it'll be alright
|
I'll get you through this silent night
|
|
(Verse)
|
This ain't living
|
I got a mouth to feed
|
But I can't make this in my sleep
|
Got it be fictional
|
Just with my luck don't hear my prayers
|
I never been this hurt
|
The silence is too loud for me
|
Life just ain't fair
|
Is anyone out there?
|
Does anyone care?
|
Is anyone listening?
|
Is anyone there?
|
Just let me know that I'm a part of your plan
|
That you're watching over and over them
|
And where we are now?
|
How do we find our way?
|
Running from God, you're scared
|
With no place to stay
|
|
2 x Chorus :
|
Hush child, it'll be alright
|
I'll get you through this silent night
|
Hush child, it'll be alright
|
I'll get you through this silent night
|
Hush child, it'll be alright
|
We'll do this together
|
|
Sleep in heavenly beats
|
Sleep in heavenly beats
|
