Heaven Help The Roses ….

This song has been much on my mind since the outcome of the USA election. It was written back in 1970 but could have been written yesterday.

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 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
Heaven help us all, heaven help us all, help us all
Heaven help us, Lord, hear our call when we call
Oh, yeah!
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, heaven help us all
Heaven help us all, oh Lord, help us all
Heaven help us, Lord, hear our call when we call
Oh, help us all
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

by Ronald L Miller / Stevie Wonder

In more cheerful news, we had an enjoyable round of golf this morning, during which I got a phone call to say our car has now been mended and will be delivered tomorrow.
