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

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 people
With their backs against the wall
Heaven help us all

Heaven help us all
Heaven help us all
Heaven help us, Lord, hear our call
When we call (when we call)
Heaven 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 man
Who kicks the man who has to crawl
Heaven help us all

Heaven help us all
Heaven help us all
Heaven help us, Lord, hear our call
When we call (when we call)
Heaven help us all

Now I lay me down
Before I go to sleep
In is trouble world
I pray the Lord to keep
hatred from the mighty
And the mighty from the small
Heaven help us all

Heaven help us all
Heaven help us all
Heaven help us, Lord, hear our call
When we call (when we call)
Heaven help us all
