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
