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
 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 on 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 Newberry Road.
 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
 But one voice was heard.
 One voice was heard.
 One voice was heard
