Lyrics
HEAVEN HELP US
IF A MAN WOULD KILL HIS BROTHER
WHAT WOULD BE HIS FATE
THE WORLD COULD NOT ACCEPT SO DARK A CRIME
STILL NATIONS FIGHT WITH NATIONS
AND THE KILLING IS THE SAME
YOU KNOW ALL MEN ARE BROTHERS DOWN THE LINE
IF A MAN DID KILL HIS COUSINS
AND THEY DIDN'T RAISE A HAND
WE WOULD ALL SAY "WHAT A VICIOUS THING TO DO"
YET MAN CAN KILL HIS COUSINS
THE BIRDS AND BEASTS AND FISH
WITH NO MORE THOUGHT THAN WALKING THROUGH A ZOO
[CHS] HEAVEN HELP US LEARN TO LIVE IN PEACE
WITH ALL THE CREATURES OF THE WORLD,
TO LOVE BOTH MAN AND BEAST
HELP US GIVE BACK TO THE EARTH
A SHARE OF WHAT WE HAVE BEEN LOANED
AND HEAVEN HELP US,
HEAVEN HELP US
HEAVEN HELP US IF WE DON'T
IF A MAN DESTROYED HIS MOTHER
WHAT COULD BE MUCH WORSE
THAN TO HURT THE ONE WHOSE LOVE DID GIVE YOU LIFE
BUT MAN DESTROYS HIS MOTHER EARTH,
THE WELLSPRING OF HIS BIRTH
IF YOU WERE BLIND WOULD YOU TURN OUT THE LIGHT
