Heaven Help The Child
Composer(s): Glen Burtnik; Kasim Sulton
Performer(s): Kasim Sulton



A paper rainbow hangs in the room
Dolls on the nightstand, a bride and a groom
Outside the window dogs howl at the moon
Heaven help the child

Ting fingers, nails painted red
Clutching a blanket, pulled over her head
Praying no monsters are under the bed
Heaven help the child

She needs someone to wake her everyday
Someone to hold her hand and lead the way
She needs someone to put the pieces back again
When her little heart is broken

Chalked colored sidewalks and castles of sand
Wells full of wishes and a story of plans
Someday they'll be changes she won't understand
Heaven help the child

She needs someone to hold her everyday
Someone to kiss her tears away
She needs someone to put the pieces back again
When her little heart is broken

A paper rainbow hangs in the room
Two dolls on the nightstand, a bride and a groom
One little angle will be growing up soon
Heaven help the child
Heaven help the child
