God Help the Child

He's out there on his own
It's all he's ever known
He's always been alone
God help the child

God help the child
Who has no-one
As he works his way through life
No-one to call his own
The chances won't be many
And the roads hard to find
As he tries to find direction
God help the child

Ooh ooh ooh, god help the child, oooh ooh ooh
He's out there on his own
It's all he's ever known
He's always been alone
God help the child

He looks at the world
Through a different lens
As he walks a lonely road
With the twists and bends
Without a benefactor
And without a helping hand
How will he find the future
Drawn out in his plans

Ooh ooh ooh, god help the child, ooh ooh ooh
He's out there on his own
It's all he's ever known
He's always been alone
God help the child

Get to know his dreams (get to know his dreams)
And help him to believe (and help him to believe)
And make sure that he knows (make sure that he knows)
Just what the future holds ( what the future holds)

CHORUS (Repeat)
