Lyrics

Heaven help the child who never had a home (lord) Heaven help the girl who walks the streets alone (hmhm) And Heaven help the roses if the bombs begin to fall Heaven helps us all And y'all listen to this Heaven help the black man if he struggles one more day (help me) Heaven help the white man if he turns his back away (haha) And heaven helps the man who kicks the man who has to crawl Heaven help us all (Heaven help us all) Oh Lord (Heaven help us all, help us all) Well now (Heaven help us all, Lord, hear our call) Well now (When we call) Oh yeah I want everybody within the sound of my voice this evening To fall down on your knees and say a prayer somin' like this if you please I want you to say "Loooord hey Lord ohhhh Loooord Ohhhhhh Lord have mercy!" Heaven help the boy who won't reach twenty-one (oh no) And Heaven help the man who gave that child a gun (ain't it a shame) And Heaven help the people with their backs against the wall Heaven help us all Now wait a minute I'd like to close with this Now I lay me down before I go to sleep In a troubled world, I pray the Lord to keep (yes i do) Keep hatred from the mighty and the mighty from the small Please lord won't you help us all (Heaven help us all) We need you to sing it (Heaven help us all, help us all) (Heaven help us, Lord, hear our call) Well, when we call, hey, hey, Lord (Heaven help us all) I wish I had somebody to help me sing this here (Heaven help us all, help us all) Yeah, yeah Lord (Heaven help us, Lord, hear our call) And when we call now That's alright, children, keep on singing and working it on the building, yes, sir (Heaven help us all) Tell the world about it (Heaven help us all, help us all) You know it ain't no harm (Heaven help us, hear our call) Ah, when we call, when we call now, yeah (Heaven help us all)
