Lyrics:

Is there a place for love in this time of want?
Can we shod we  care in this hour of need
Are we going to take a stand 
Against those who say we can't 
Show some kindness toward the least 
In an age of greed?
Mothers tell your daughters, fathers teach your sons
Though we got hard times now, we ain’t the only ones
For our brothers and sisters across this hard land
Make a place in your heart, and lend a helping hand
And when the bankers and bosses and inheritors of wealth
Sit on the backs of other braying “it’s each man for himself”
Stand up and raise your voices, tell ‘em their mistake:
That the measure of a man is more than how much he can take
And that there’s a place for love in a time of want
That you can show care in an hour of need
That we're going to take a stand 
In spite of those who said  we can't
Show some kindness toward the least
In an age of greed
We'll show love in a time of want
By getting the humblest what they need

Hallelujah Strut
