[Verse 1]
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 man who kicks the man who has to crawl
Heaven help us all

[Chorus]
Heaven help us all, heaven help us all, help us all
Heaven help us, Lord, hear our call when we fall
Oh yeah, help us all

[Verse 2]
Heaven help the boy who won't reach twenty-one
Heaven help the man who gave that boy a gun
Heaven help the people with their backs against the wall
Lord, Heaven help us all
Heaven help us all, yeah, oh, hurry

[Chorus]
Heaven help us all, Lord, heaven help us all, help us all
Heaven help us, Lord, hear our call when we fall
Oh, help us all

[Verse 3]
Now I lay me down before I go to sleep
In a troubled world, I pray the Lord to keep
Keep hatred from the mighty
And the mighty from the small
Heaven help us all
Oh, oh, oh, yeah

[Chorus]
Heaven help us all, help us all
Heaven help us all
Ah, I need you, Lord, to help us all
Heaven help us all
I need you, Lord, need you now
Heaven help us all
Desperately Lord, hear me, need you now
Heaven help us all
Help me Lord

Stevie Wonder

Despite losing his sight at a young age, Stevie Wonder went on to become one of the most celebrated soul songwriters of the late 20th century. His songs manage to both innovate and catch the ears of listeners of all dispositions, whilst also being big chart hits.

Incredibly influential amongst musical circles, his voice rendered modern British soul-songwriter James Morrison close to tears the first time he heard it.
