Hurt people, hurt people
Broken people, break people
Hope is the thread and faith is the needle
For people like you and me

Lost people, lose people
Left people, leave people
Hope is the thread and faith is the needle
So, maybe we can be

Hurt people, healing people
Broken people, fixing people
Wounded people, mending people
People like you and me
Like you and me

Hurt people, healing people
Broken people, fixing people
Wounded people, mending people
People like you and me
So, we don't have to be
Hurt people, hurting people
Hurt people, hurting people

Oh Lord, ain't we a mess
Bourbon in our coffee cup, wine-stained dress
Love forgives and love forgets
As far as the east is from the west
I'll do that for you, you'll do that for me
So we could be

Hurt people, healing people
Broken people, fixing people
Wounded people, mending people
People like you and me
We don't have to be
Hurt people, hurting people
Hurt people, hurting people

Hurt people, need people
Broken people, need people
Wounded people, need people
People like you and me
Yeah, we're gonna be

Hurt people, healing people
Broken people, fixing people
Wounded people, mending people
People like you and me
So we can be

Hurt people, healing people
Broken people, fixing people
Wounded people, mending people
People like you and me
One day we won't be

Hurt people, hurt people
Yeah, love is the thread and faith is the needle
After all is done and all is said
You can heal a lotta hurt with a needle and thread
