heaven help us all lyrics

Heaven help the boy who never had a home
Heaven help the girl who walks the street alone
And Heaven help the roses if the bombs begin to fall
Lord, won't you 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 twenty-one
And Heaven help the man who gave that child a gun
And Heaven help the people with their backs against the wall
Lord, won't you help us all?

Heaven help us all, Heaven help us all, help us all
Heaven help us, oh 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, the Lord to keep
Keep hatred from the mighty and the mighty from the small

Heaven help us all, Heaven help us all, help us all
Heaven help us, Lord, hear our call when we call

Heaven help us all, Heaven help us all, help us all
Heaven help us, Lord, hear our call when we call

Heaven help us all, Heaven help us all, help us all
Heaven help us, Lord, hear our call when we call
