Joan Baez – Heaven Help Us All

Heaven help the child who never had a home

Heaven help the girl who walks the streets 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 people with their backs against the wall

Heaven help us all

Heaven help us all, Heaven help us all,

Heaven help us, Lord, hear our call when we call, heaven help us all

Heaven help the boy who won’t reach twenty-one

Heaven help the man who gave that boy a gun

Heaven help the man who kicks the man who has to crawl

Heaven help us all

Heaven help us all, Heaven help us all

Heaven help us, Lord, hear our call when we call, heaven help us all

Now I lay me down before I go to sleep

In this troubled world, 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, Lord, hear our call when we call, heaven help us all
