Lyrics

Heaven help the boy who never had a home

Heaven help the girl who walks the streets alone

Heaven help the roses if the bombs begin to fall

Lord, won't you help us all?

Hmm-hmm

Heaven help the black man if he struggles one more day

(More day)

Heaven help the white man if he turns his back away

(Back away)

Heaven help the man who kicks the man who has to crawl, uh

Heaven help us all

(Heaven help us all)

Heaven help us

(Heaven help us all, help us all)

Oh, we need you, Jesus

(Heaven help us, Lord)

Oh, Lord

(Hear our call)

Hear our call

(When we call)

Oh, when we call

Oh, yeah

Heaven help the boy who won't reach 21

You tell 'em, Ray

Heaven help the man who gave that child a gun

Shame, shame

And heaven help the people with their backs against the wall

Lord, won't you help us all?

(Heaven help us all)

Oh, Lord

(Heaven help us all, help us all)

(Heaven help us, Lord)

Oh, Lord

(Hear our call)

Hear our call

(When we call)

When we call

Oh, when we call

(We need you to help us all, ooh-ooh-ooh)

I want everybody within the sound of my voice this evening

To fall down on your knees and say a prayer

Asking for his guidance, his grace, his mercy

You might wanna say, "Lord, Lord, Lord have mercy, oh-oh-oh-oh"

Now I lay me down before I go to sleep

In a troubled world, I pray the Lord, the Lord to keep

Keep hatred from the mighty and the mighty from the small

Heaven help us all

Heaven help us all

(Heaven help us all)

Oh, have mercy

(Help us all)

We need you, Jesus

(Heaven help us, Lord)

Oh, Lord

(Hear our call)

Oh, won't you?

(When we call)

Oh, won't you hear me when I call?

Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh

(Heaven help us all)

Yeah, I wish I had somebody to help me sing this thing

(Heaven help us all, help us all)

Lord, won't you come back here?

(Heaven help us, Lord)

(Hear our call)

Well, oh-oh-oh, when we call

(When we call)

We can't do it without you

(Heaven help us all)

Ah-ah-ah-ah

(Heaven help us all, help us all)

Lord, would you come back here?

(Heaven help us all)

Oh, won't you, won't you...
