Heaven Help Us All

(앨범: A Message From The People - 1972)

Heaven help the child who never had a home
Lord, Heaven help the girl who walks the streets alone, mhm
And Heaven help the roses if the bombs begin to fall
Heaven, help 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 help 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 in the sound of my voice this evening
To fall down on your knees
I want you to say, "Lord, hey Lord, woo Lord, woo, Lord have mercy"

Heaven help the boy who won't reach twenty-one, oh Lord
And Heaven help the man who gave that child a gun ain't it a shame?
Heaven help the people with their backs against the wall, mhm
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 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)
