Some kids have it some kids don't 
                                                  G 
And some of us are wondering why 
C 
And mom won't watch the news at night 
                                                              G 
There's too much stuff that's making her cry 
C                      G 
We need some help 
C                      G 
Down here on earth 
C                  G 
A thousand prayers 
Am             C    D 
A million words 
                               G 
But one voice was heard 
C 
A house, a yard, a neighborhood 
                                                                 G 
Where you could ride your new bike to school 
C 
A kind of world where mom and dad 
                                    G 
Still believe the golden rule 
C                      G 
Life's not that simple 
C                      G 
Down here on earth 
C                    G 
A thousand prayers 
Am            C   D 
A million words 
                              G 
But one voice was heard 
Em                     G 
One voice, one simple word 
Am                            G 
Hearts know what to say 
Em                       G 
One dream can change the world 
Am                    C                       G   Am   C 
Keep believing, till you find your way 
C 
Yesterday while walking home 
                                                G 
I saw some kid on Newberry Road 
C 
He pulled a pistol from his bag 
                                         G 
And tossed it in the river below 
C                     G 
Thanks for the help 
C                      G 
Down here on earth 
C                     G 
A thousand prayers 
Am               C   D 
A millions words 
                                G 
But one voice was heard 
C                        G 
One voice was heard 
C                        G 
One voice was heard
