One Voice

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 

 But one voice was heard 
 A house, a yard, a neighborhood 
 Where you could ride your new bike to school 
 A 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 one 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 millions words 

 But one voice was heard 
 One voice was heard 
 One voice was heard
