Heaven help the child
who never had a home
Heaven help the girl
who walks the street alone
Heaven help the roses
if the bombs begin to fall
Heaven help us all
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 call
Oh yeah
Heaven help the boy
who won't reach twentyone
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
heaven help us all
heaven help us all
help us all
Heaven help us Lord
hear our call when we call
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
