Lyrics

[Verse 1]
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
[Verse 2]
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
[Verse 3]
Heaven help us all
Heaven help us all, help us all
Heaven help us, Lord hear our call
When we fall
[Verse 4]
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
[Verse 5]
Heaven help us all, yeah
Heaven help us all
Heaven help us all, help us all
Heaven help us, Lord, hear our call
When we fall
Help us all
[Verse 6]
Now 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
[Verse 7]
Yeah, yeah
Help us all
I need you Lord
Help us all
I need you Lord
Need you now
Yes, we need you Lord
Hear me
Need you now
Help me Lord
