It was another day
A perfect Texas afternoon
A mother and two children play

The way the always do
As they raced home from the mailbox
A mother and her son

Against a little girl of 6 years old
The independant one


The deputies went door to door
Through all the neighborhood
They said I got some news to tell you folks

I'm afraid it ain't so good
Somehow something happened
Someone got away

Someone got the answers for what happened here today
Oh no, Oh no, Oh no, no, no, no


Tell me it was just a dream - August 7 4:15
God closed His eyes and the world got mean
August 7 4:15


Now the people from the papers and the local TV news
Tried to find the reason

Cop dogs sniffed around for clues
Someone shouted "Hit and Run"
The coroner cried "Foul"

Her blue dress was what she wore
The day they laid her body down
Oh no, Oh no, Oh no, no, no, no


Tell me it was just a dream - August 7 4:15
God closed His eyes and the world got mean

August 7 4:15

I know tonight that there's an angel

Up on Heaven's highest hill
And no one there can hurt you baby
No one ever will

Somewhere someone's conscience is like a burning bed
The flames are all around you
How you gonna sleep again


Oh no, Oh no, Oh no, no, no, no


Tell me it was just a dream - August 7 4:15
God closed His eyes and the world got mean
August 7 4:15
