     Jamie lived in an upscale neighborhood, not far from a shopping mall
     With just a short walk to the local park, young Jamie seemed to have it all
     But daddy lost his job and the will to live and his life just slipped away
     Now, momma has bills she can't pay and this is all Jamie can say

           Who's gonna care about me?
           Who's gonna care about me?
           Who's gonna hold me in their arms and make me feel alright?
           Who's gonna care about me?
           And a million other kids on the street tonight?

     Over a million American children have no place to call their home
     Some are out in the cold with a parent, many frightened and all alone
     Some are orphans, some run away, some are fleeing severe abuse
     And some families are so poor, kids far too young are just cut loose

           Who's gonna care about me?
           Who's gonna care about me?

     Jesus said, blessed are the children
     And when we care about them
     It's the same as if we're caring about him

           Who's gonna care about me?
           Who's gonna care about me?
           Who's gonna hold me in their arms and make me feel alright?
           Who's gonna care about me, yeah
           And a million other kids on the street tonight?

           There's a million homeless kids out there somewhere
           On the streets tonight *
