Heaven Help Us All

Joan Baez

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 (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 (when we call)
Heaven help us all

Now I lay me down 
Before I go to sleep
In is trouble world
I pray the Lord to 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 (when we call)
Heaven help us all
