Текст песни Touch The World - Live in Kings Park Stadium, Durban, South Africa - November 8, 1994 - Whitney Houston

Thank you, thank you
We can touch the world with love if we put our hearts in it
I know it is true
Love breaks down barriers of all kinds, come on

She walks with a beat
As she works the street
In the dead of night
Her kids must eat, she's been laid off
And his money's right, oh Lord

A world away
Beneath the sun
The earth, the earth goes dry
Hungry starving people search for food
As their babies die

And I say to them, "We can touch the world" (we can touch the world)
When we meet them at their need
We can touch them where they are
If we help them to believe (help them to believe), help them to believe
C'mon and touch the world, come on oh, ay

He's on the pipe and he's got the shakes as he takes a puff, ooh
Their badges shine and there's no escape
As they lock him up, Lord have mercy (Lord, Lord)
Fourteen years old and without love, the girl's livin' wild livin' wild
How can it be a four-month pregnancy when she's the child (c'mon)

We can touch the world
When we meet them at their need
We can touch them where they are
Help them to believe (help them to believe), God knows
We can help them to believe, oh yes

Around the globe people need to know
That the answer's theirs today
Oh, someway, somehow we must let them know
That God gives hope and Jesus (Jesus is the way)

He is the way, my Lord is the way, oh yes he is
Oh yes, he is (oh yes, he is) oh yes, he is (oh yes, he is)
Oh yes, he is (oh yes, he is) come down, come down
Help me to believe
There's a boy out there strung, out on crack, Lord
Help him (yeah, it's gonna take all we have to bring) the boy on back
Yes it is

People beg for food without a home
We gotta let them know (them know) that they're not alone
Yeah, yeah, oh, yeah
Help them, help them to believe, c'mon
Yeah, yeah, oh, yeah
(Help them to believe) help them to believe

We can touch the world (touch the world)
When we can help their needs
Touch the world (we can touch the world they are)
Right here where you are (help them to believe)

C'mon, we (we) can touch (can touch) the world, (this whole wide world)
When we can help their needs
We can touch them where they are
Help them to believe (help them to believe)
Yeah

(Touch the world)
Oh, yes, oh yes, oh yes, yes we can

Ladies and gentlemen, my mother Mrs. Sissy Houston
(Yeah, yeah, oh, yeah) all my brothers and sisters
(Yeah, yeah, oh, yeah)
(Help them to believe) c'mon, c'mon

Yeah (yeah) yeah (yeah) oh yes (oh yes) yeah
We can test the world (oh), we've a lot to change
(Yeah, yeah) we can change things with our love (oh, yeah)
And help them to believe
