Текст песни Jennifer Hudson "Hush Child"

(Verse) 

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 

(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 plan 

That you’re watching over and over them 

(Verse) 

And where we are now? 

How do we find our way? 

Running from God, you’re scared 

With no place to stay 

(Chorus x2) 

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
