Lyrics Madeleine Peyroux

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
