Madeleine Peyroux - Heaven Help Us All

Heaven help the child who never had a home
Heaven help the girl who walks the street alone
Heaven help the roses when the bombs begin to fall
Heaven help us all

Heaven help the poor man if he struggles one more day
Heaven help the rich man if he turns his back away
Heaven help the man who kicks the man who's got to crawl
Heaven help us all

Heaven help us all
Heaven help us all
Help us all, Lord
Hear our call when we call
Heaven help us all

Heaven help the boy who won't reach twenty-one
And heaven help the man who gave that boy a gun
Heaven help the people with their backs against the wall
Heaven help us all

Heaven help the innocents who's final hour it is
Heaven help the angry men who take their lives with his
Help the true believers who believes in ours at all
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 in a troubled world asleep
And I pray, pray the Lord my soul 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
