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 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

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 oh, oh, oh, yeah!
