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
