Some kids have and 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 
can 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 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 Newbury 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
