Lyrics

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
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
14 years old and without love, the girl is livin' wild
How can it be a four-month pregnancy, and she's the child?
I tell you, we can touch the world
When we meet them at their need
We can touch them where they are
Help them to believe
Around 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
Yes, he is
Help them to believe
We can touch the world
When we meet them at their need
We can touch them where they are
Help them to believe, touch the world
There's a boy out there, strong and all clear
It's gonna take all we have to bring the boy under here
He was searching for food, without a home
And he has to know, that he's not alone
Touch the world
Yeah, yeah, oh, yeah
Help them to believe
We can touch the world
We can touch them where they are
Help them to believe
