Текст песни Heaven Help Us All - Ray Charles , Gladys Knight

Heaven help the boy who never had a home
Heaven help the girl who walks the streets alone
And Heaven help the roses if the bombs begin to fall
Lord, won't you help us all?

Mmmhmm
Heaven help the black man if he struggles one more day (one more day)
Heaven help the white man if he turns his back away
Heaven help the man who kicks the man who has to crawl, uh
Heaven help us all

(Heaven help us all) Heaven help us
(Heaven help us all, help us all) oh we need you Jesus
(Heaven help us Lord) oh Lord
(Hear our call) hear our call (when we call) oh when we call
Oh, yeah!

Heaven help the boy who won't reach twenty-one (you tell em Ray)
And Heaven help the man who gave that child a gun (shame shame)
And Heaven help the people with their backs against the wall
Lord, won't you help us all?

(Heaven help us all) oh Lord
(Heaven help us all, help us all)
(Heaven help us Lord) oh Lord
(Hear our call) hear our call
(When we call) when we call, oh, when we call

(We need you to help us all! Ooh ooh ooooh)

I want everybody within the sound of my voice this evening to
Fall down on your knees and say a prayer
Asking for his guidance, his grace, his mercy
You might wanna say "Loooord
Ohhhh Loooord, Lord have mercy! Ohhhhhh!"

Now I lay me down before I go to sleep
In a troubled world, I pray the Lord, the Lord to keep
Keep hatred from the mighty and the mighty from the small
Heaven help us all

(Heaven help us all) oh have mercy
(Heaven help us all, help us all) we need you Jesus
(Heaven help us Lord) oh Lord
(Hear our call) oh won't you (when we call)
Oh won't you hear me when I call, oh ohhh oh oh

(Heaven help us all) yeah!
I wish I had somebody to help me sing this thing
(Heaven help us all, help us all) Lord won't you come by here
(Heaven help us Lord, hear our call) well, ohh, when we call
(When we call) we can't do it without you!

(Heaven help us all, Heaven help us all, help us all)
(Heaven help us Lord, hear our call when we call)
