Lyrics
[Verse 1]
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
[Verse 2]
We need some help
Down here on Earth
A thousand prayers
A million words
But one voice was heard
[Verse 3]
A house a yard a neighborhood
Where you could ride you new bike to school
A kinda 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
[Verse 4]
(One voice)
One voice
One simple word
Hearts know what to say
One dream
Can change the world
Keep believin'
Till you find your way
[Verse 5]
Yesterday while walkin' home
I saw some kid on Newberry Road
He pulled a pistol from his bag
And tossed it in the river below
[Verse 6]
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
