HEAVEN HELP THE CHILD
(Glen Burtnik / Kasim Sulton)
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
