Hurt People

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

Lord, Lord, ain't we a mess?
Bourbon in our coffee cup, a wine stained dress
Love forgives and love forgets
As far as the East is from the West
I'll do that for you, you 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 lot of hurt with a needle and thread
