[HANASHIR:7147] Fw: lyrics-one voice

[shirona <shirona...>]

To all of you who teach music - here is one phenomenal song.  I was so taken by 
it that I took the trouble to write out the lyrics ( have the chords too - 
email me privately if you want them ) and started teaching it to 5th graders.  
It is currently on the Country Music charts, sung by a 12 year old boy named 
Billy Gilman.   Thanks to Rabbi Ken Alter, who makes it his business to know as 
much as possible about current music - - - even Country....  Clips of this song 
can be heard on the singers' website.

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 so 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 Newberry Road - 
He pulled a pistol from his bag
And tossed it to 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.
