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 can ride your

new bike to school.

A kind of world where Mom and dad

Still believe in 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

'Til you find your way

Yesterday while walking home

I saw some kid on Newbury Road

He pulled the 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
