Madeleine Peyroux Heaven Help Us All Lyrics

And there're some people
There're some people

Heaven help the child who never had a home
Oh, 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
Oh, 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
Lord, here I come
Oh, bring me
(Help us all)

Heaven help the child who won't reach twenty-one
(Who won't reach twenty-one)
Oh, 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
Oh, bring me
Where I, where I belong

Now I lay me down before I go to sleep
In these troubled days 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
I need somebody
I need somebody
Help us

Heaven help us all
Help us all
Heaven help us all
Help us all

Heaven help us all
Help us
Heaven help us all
Help us

Heaven help us all
Help us, Lord
Heaven help us all
Help us, Lord

Heaven help us all
Help us, Lord
Heaven help us all
Help us, Lord

Heaven help us all
Help us, Lord
Heaven help us all
Help us, Lord

Heaven help us all
Help us, Lord
Heaven help us all
Help us, Lord
