How long has the world been turning old? Even wise men can not save Sometimes it seems the fires of hate Are burning all the Love away Earth could be a better place We could put an end to all despair It would be a simple thing If we only learn to share I say circle, circle around the sun Look at what this child called man has done Somehow we must make amends We're quickly heading for the end my friend Some folks have to suffer Just because all the things they haven't done Some folks forget about their neighbors Even though they got a lot Never taking time to think Seems as how they ain't got time to care Lingering onto selfish things Somehow they forget to share Come on circle, circle around the sun Look at what this child called man has done Somehow we must make amends We're quickly heading for the end my friend Circle around the sun Heaven help the helpless Have them hurry on up their merry way (Heaven help the helpless, Heaven help the helpless, Heaven help the helpless) Oh Lord And Man needs to bring a little light into someone's weary day (Heaven help the helpless, Heaven help the helpless, Heaven help the helpless) Have mercy now, You don't hear me (Heaven help the helpless, Heaven help the helpless, Heaven help the helpless) I know it ain't too much just some good vibrations floating in the air, everywhere (Heaven help the helpless, Heaven help the helpless, Heaven help the helpless) What this simple song I sing is the only thing I got to share (Heaven help the helpless, Heaven help the helpless, Heaven help the helpless) Come on circle, circle around the sun Look at what this child called man has done Somehow we must make amends We're quickly heading for the end my friend
