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 man who kicks the man who has to crawl
Heaven help us all

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

Heaven help the boy who won't reach 21
Heaven help the man who gave that child a gun
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 all, hear our call when we fall
Oh, heaven help us all

(Hear our 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

Heaven help us all
Heaven help us all
Heaven help us all, hear our call, hear our call when we fall
Yeah, heaven help us all
