Some kids have and some kids don't

And some of us are wondering why.

And Mom won't watch the news at night

There's too much stuff that's making her cry.

We need some help

Down here on earth

A thousand prayers, a million words

But one voice was heard.



A house, a yard, a neighborhood

Where you could ride your new bike to school.

A kind of world where Mom and Dad

Still believe the golden rule

Life's not that simple

Down here on earth.

A thousand prayers, a million words

But one voice was heard.



One voice, one simple word, hearts know what to say

one dream can change the world

keep believing till you find your way



Yesterday while walking home

I saw some kid on Newbury Route

He pulled a pistol from his bag

and tossed it in the river below.



Thanks for the help

down here on earth

A thousand prayers, a million words

But one voice was heard.



One voice was heard

One voice was heard
