George Duke
Touch the World
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 (As their babies die)

[Chorus]
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
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 (Lord, have mercy)
Fourteen years old and without love
The girl's 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 at their need
We can touch them where they are
So, help them to believe
[Bridge]
Around the globe people need to know
The answer's theirs today
Some way, somehow
We must let them know
That God gives hope and Jesus is the way

Help them to believe

[Chorus]
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
Strung out on crack
Gonna take all we have
To bring the boy on back
People search for food
Without a home
Gotta let them know
That they're not alone
Touch the world
Yeah, yeah, oh, yeah
When we meet them at their needs, yeah
Yeah, yeah, oh, yeah
Help them to believe

We can touch the world
We can touch them where they are
Help them to believe
