I get in the car

 Another tragic disaster

 But I'm safe where I am

 Yet another is captured

 The traffic is stopped

 People just stare

 Another alert does the kid have a prayer?

Life is not fair

Chorus

Its hard to look outside my door

 With all the news reports and more

Yet I will do my part and stay on alert

For all the kids out there who are getting hurt

It could have happened to me

Can you make me believe

This could have a happy end

 'Cause I am one of them

I try to grow up

 But I am chased by my fears

 It could happen to me

 And I worry in tears

Reports of the girl

 Makin' me scared

Led off to die and why was I spared?

Life is not fair!

Chorus

Its hard to look outside my door

 With all the news reports and more

Yet I will do my part and stay on alert

For all the kids out there who are getting hurt

It could have happened to me

Can you make me believe

This could have a happy end

 'Cause I am one of them

I am one of them, am one of them

I am one of them, am one of them

I am one of them, am one of them

I wish I could bring, back all of them.

Its hard to look outside my door

 With all the news reports and more

Yet I will do my part and stay on alert

For all the kids out there who are getting hurt

It could have happened to me

Can you make me believe

This could have a happy end

 'Cause I am one of them
