I can't bear to look at their faces again
Or hear their cries
When I know I should be trying to give
More than a helpless smile

The children are dying, mothers are crying
Fathers have all gone away
I say that I care, some way or somewhere
I'll help but don't even pray

I can't runaway, can't hide anymore
Can't let them die
Too many arguments made
Too many times I've ignored
Broken and hopeless lives

They're afraid of the night
They pray for the light
But still it's the same old way
I say that I care, some way or somewhere
I'll help but don't even pray

These are the dying people
People who need the Lord
These are the dying people
People who need the Lord
The time has come to stand up to the truth
And follow His command
So, no matter the cost
I've decided to choose
To live or die with Him

'Cause when the children dying
The mothers are crying
The fathers have all gone away
I'll do more than just care
Some way or somewhere
I'll help them in Jesus' name

Dying people
People who need the Lord
These are the dying people
People who need the Lord

Dying people
People who need the Lord
These are the dying people
People who need the Lord

Dying people
People who need the Lord
These are the dying people
People who need the Lord
