Heaven Help Us All

(album: The Memphis Sessions - 1988)

There's some people
There's some people

Heaven help the child who never had a home
Heaven help the girl who walks the streets alone (walks the streets alone, yeah)
Heaven help the roses when the bombs begin to fall
Lord 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 (turns his back away, yeah)
Heaven help the man who kicks the man who has to crawl
Lord heaven help us all

Heaven help us all
Help us all
Heaven help us all
Help us all
Heaven help us all
Heaven help us Lord
Here I come, bring me [?]
Help us all

Heaven help the child who won't reach twenty-one (won't reach twenty-one)
Heaven help the man who gave that child a gun, bang bang
Heaven help the people with their backs against the wall
Lord heaven help us all
Help us all, yeah, alright, alright

Heaven help us all
Help us all
Heaven help us all
Help us all
Heaven help us Lord
Here I come, bring me [?]
Where I, where I belong

Now lay me down before I go to sleep
In these troubled days are pretty lord to keep
Created 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
I need somebody
I need somebody
Help us

Heaven help us all
Help us all
