The day that music died was an awful day 
The children started working instead of play 
Our poets read from scripts to earn their pay 
I tell them exit stage left aint got shit to say 
Cause music brings us life when we are dead 
An honest melody to break the trend 
And music brings us hope for future peace 
Humanity will sing in harmony 
I pray for that day 

The day that music died was an awful day 
The critics and the skeptics had all the say 
This money hungry industry must back away 
Set the music free or watch it fade away 
Cause music brings us life when we are dead 
An honest melody to break the trend 
And music brings us hope for future peace 
Humanity will sing in harmony 
I pray for that day
