I get in the car, another tragic disater
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

It's 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
Why was I spared?
Life is not fair!


It's 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
Life is not fair.
