Help a man
|
To cross the open road
|
Help a woman
|
Through the open door
|
It swings so wide
|
Share your prayers
|
With the people you meet
|
At the back of your building
|
Keep your eyes wide
|
|
Where there is a baby
|
You know there once was a mother sweet
|
And where there is a man
|
You know there once was a baby
|
Step ahead, step ahead
|
But beware of the open shadows
|
Take ahold of the good hand
|
Of the man who has fallen in
|
|
Ah, ah, ah, ah
|
Ah, ah, ah, ah
|
Ah, ah, ah, ah
|
Ah, ah, ah, ah
|
|
Rise up crying
|
And singing at the same time
|
Once this was a field
|
Yes, on open field
|
O, do you remember
|
How I held your face in my hands
|
We used to kiss so hard
|
One vote for your hands
|
Lying there on the table, open
|
Added up, it gets easier
|
You taught yourself to walk and talk
|
Now you sign your message to the jailer
|
Harnds started out
|
So strong, so small
|
|
Now the law says wait
|
For the little lights to guide you
|
You can't always count on people
|
To help take you across
|
You may not feel responsible
|
But your poor heart is aching
|
It takes a strong heart, love
|
To help a man
|
|
Help a man
|
To cross the open road
|
Help a woman
|
Through the open door
|
It swings so wide
|
Share your prayers
|
With the people you meet
|
At the back of your building
|
Keep your eyes wide
|
|
Where there is a baby
|
You know there once was a mother sweet
|
And where there is a man
|
You know there once was a baby
|
Step ahead, step ahead
|
But beware of the open shadows
|
Take ahold of the good hand
|
Of the man who has fallen in
|
