One Voice

Billy Gilman

Some kids have and some kids don't
And some of us are wondering why
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 kinda 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 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

    None of my brothers like this song because they think his voice sounds like a girl.
