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
