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.

A perfect 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.



Yesterday while walking home

I saw some kid on Newbury Bridge

He had a pistol in his hand

I can't believe what he did.
