[Intro: Billy Gilman]
(Some kids have and some kids don't)
(We need some help)
[Verse 1: Billy Gilman]
Some kids have and some kids don't
And some of us are wondering why
And Mom won't watch the news at night
Too much stuff that's making her cry
[Chorus: Billy Gilman]
We need some help (Some help)
Down here on Earth
A thousand prayers, a million words (One million)
But one voice was heard
[Verse 2: Austin Brown]
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 in the golden rule
[Chorus: Austin Brown]
Life's not that simple
Down here on Earth
A thousand prayers, a million words (One million)
But one voice was heard
[Bridge: Billy Gilman & Austin Brown]
One voice, one simple word (One simple word)
Hearts know what to say (Oh, one dream)
One dream can change the world (Change the world)
Keep believing 'til you find a way
[Verse 3: Billy Gilman]
Yesterday, while walking home
I saw a kid on Newberry Road
He pulled a pistol from his bag
And tossed it in the river below
[Chorus: Billy Gilman]
Thanks for the help (The help)
Down here on Earth (Down here on Earth)
A thousand prayers, a million words (One million)
But one voice was heard
One voice was heard
One voice was heard
[Outro: Billy Gilman]
Woah, woah
