Lord Won’t You Please Help Me? [Bazza’s Blues]
©2005 Words & Music : B.Ferrier

I hope the Good Lord’s watching
And he’s got a Great Big Plan
That includes the Day of Judgement
When the human race is ran
I know there’s children starving
And my troubles may seem small
But that don’t help you too much
When you’re climbing up the wall
I’m trying to understand – Lord won’t you please help me?

Well, this booze it numbs my senses
When the blues they cloud my mind
And you just drive me crazy
You keep trying to be kind
I can’t help but question‘
cause this chaos makes no sense
and one thing worse than Blind Faith
is sitting on the fence

Get it wrong or get it right
You got to do whatever gets you through the night
Get down on your knees with me and pray we’ll see the light
Lord won’t you help me to see?
Lord won’t you please help me?

Wait for a small patch of blue through the grey
my hopes and ambitions they're all slipping away
Rich man or poor man
The Weak or the Strong
Each find their own way
To measure right from wrong

Well There ain't no use pretending
there is little doubt
Just how this proposition
will finally all turn out
I'm staring at a bottle like it's some crystal ball
I took my anaesthetic but it didn't help at all
I’m trying to understand – Lord won’t you please help me?

I see the dark brooding clouds up building up in the sky
a big storm is a brewing yes it's coming by and by
where're we gonna run tow
ho you gonna pay
there ain't no lawyer you can hire
when it comes to Judgement Day

Well, maybe God is sleeping
Or it’s fun he’s trying to poke
But it’s way beyond my power
To understand the joke
You can’t change things for the better
On this Planet of Despair
While you’re watching television
From your easy chair

Get it wrong or get it right
You got to do whatever gets you through the night
Get down on your knees with me and pray we’ll see the light
Lord won’t you help me to see?
Lord won’t you please help me?
