There is a homeless woman who kneels by a guard rail by the BJ's parking lot rear entrance.  She is there every day - rain, sun, sleet, snow, heat of summer.  People stop and ask if she needs help- but she refuses and kneels there praying.  This song is for her.  Her real name is Helen - I just titled the song based on what she does everyday.

Saint Helen

There is a woman who is homeless in Flemington, NJ.  Everyday she is at the rear driveway to BJ's kneeling to the guard rail and praying.  This song is about her.  Her name is Helen - and that is all I really know about her.  I have stopped and talked to her a few occasions, but she refuses help of any kind.  So this song is for her and her plight.
