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.
