Joan Baez Heaven Help Us All Lyrics

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
Heaven help us all
