I tuned in to the tv once again today 

Watch the news to educate my mind 

The destruction and the chaos that confronted me 

It's our world caught in it's own demise 

(As I sat there I began to cry) 

The situation worsens every day that goes by 

(And I thought how can this be, Lord why) 

So heavy on me all those that are hurting inside 



If I had a dollar for every heart that's broken 

For every word of love unspoken 

For every childhood dream that's never realize 

If I had a penny for all the wrong we're doing 

And all the ways we could be moving on 

Maybe I could buy you paradise 

Just to see some hope in your eyes 



Sometimes life it seems a bit too much for me 

More things we must survive on top of all that we had before 

Broken hearts, broken homes, kids abused left alone 

So many in the streets, homeless with no food to eat 

(I know God hears us crying out) 

Run to Him for all the answers, don't turn away 

(If we look to Him there is no doubt) 

He'll give us all the help we need, he knows the way, still if I 



If I had a dollar for every heart that's broken 

For every word of love unspoken 

For every childhood dream that's never realize 

If I had a penny for all the wrong we're doing 

And all the ways we could be moving on 

Maybe I could buy you paradise 

Just to see some hope in your eyes 



There are so many troubles, God knows what we need to do 

He has us in His hands, knows what we are going through 

Silver and gold have I none, what I have I give to you 

His word says we can make it and I know His word is true 

Here's to the hurting souls and for all the broken hearts 

All those who've been abused, who's life has been torn apart 

I don't have all the answers, what I have I gladly give 

It's in him there is life, if in him we live and if I 



If I had a dollar for every heart that's broken 

For every word of love unspoken 

For every childhood dream that's never realize 

If I had a penny for all the wrong we're doing 

And all the ways we could be moving on 

Maybe I could buy you paradise 

Just to see some hope in your eyes 



If I had a dollar for every heart that's broken 

For every word of love unspoken 

For every childhood dream that's never realize 

If I had a penny for all the wrong we're doing 

And all the ways we could be moving on 

Maybe I could buy you paradise 

Just to see some hope in your eyes
