God Help the Child - The Real Thing

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)

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
