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
