Some kids have and some kids don't
And some of us are wondering why.
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.
The 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 Road
He took 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
One voice was heard.
One voice was heard.
One voice was heard.
