"Heaven Help Us All" lyrics

Heaven help the child who never had a home
Heaven help the girl who walks the streets alone
Heaven help the roses if the bombs begin to fall
Heaven help us all, mm

Heaven help the Black man if he struggles one more day
Heaven help the white man if he turns his back away
Heaven help the man who kicks the man who has to crawl
Heaven help us all

Heaven help us all
Heaven help us all, help us all
Heaven help us, Lord, hear our call when we fall
Oh yeah, help us all

Heaven help the boy who won't reach twenty-one
Heaven help the man who gave that boy a gun
Heaven help the people with their backs against the wall
Lord, Heaven help us all
Heaven help us all, yeah, oh, hurry

Heaven help us all
(Oh-oh, help us out, Lord)
Heaven help us all (Oh-oh, help us all)
Heaven help us, Lord, hear our call when we fall
Oh, help us all

Now I lay me down before I go to sleep
In a troubled world, I pray the Lord to keep
Keep hatred from the mighty
And the mighty from the small
Heaven help us all

Heaven help us all (Ah, help us all)
Heaven help us all
(Ah, I need you, Lord, to help us all)
Heaven help us all
(I need you, Lord, need you now)
Heaven help us all
(Desperately Lord, hear me, need you now)
Heaven help us all
Ah, help me Lord
Heaven help us all
