Some kids have it 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 Newberry Road

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 millions words

But one voice was heard

One voice was heard

One voice was heard
