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
One voice was hers
A house we bought in a neighborhood
Where you can ride your new bike to school
A kind of world with Mom and Dad
Where we still believe in the Golden Rule
Life’s not that simple, down here on Earth
A thousand prayers, a million words
One voice was hers
bridge:
One voice, one simple word
Hearts know what to say
One dream can change the world
Keep believing until you find a way
Yesterday while walkin’ home
I saw some kid I knew very well
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 million words
One voice was hers (x 3)
