Helpless

Look at the child, what did he do
To deserve the fate he got from you?
Look at the man who’s on his own
The rest of his life, he’ll be alone
Helpless, helpless, helpless
Helpless
I hope and pray it’s not too late
Have pity, oh Lord, why do they have to wait?
They’re bound in chains, still they wait so long
How can the people be so strong yet so
Helpless, open your eyes
Helpless, do you realize?
Helpless
Helpless
Lord, if there’s hope, won’t you let it be?
For I look around and it seems to me
There’s too many tears in too many eyes
Too many fears and too many lies
Helpless, don’t turn away
Helpless, hear what I say
Helpless
Helpless
