It was another day.A perfect Texas afternoonA mother and two children play.The way the always doAs they raced home from the mailbox.A mother and her sonAgainst a little girl of 6 years old.The independant oneThe deputies went door to door.Through all the neighborhoodThey said I got some news to tell you folksI'm afraid it ain't so good.Somehow something happenedSomeone got away.Someone got the answers for what happenedhere todayOh no, Oh no, Oh no, no, no, no
Tell me it was just a dream - August 7 4:15God closed His eyes and the world got meanAugust 7 4:15 .Now the people from the papersand the local TV newsTried to find the reason.Cop dogs sniffed around for cluesSomeone shouted "Hit and Run".The coroner cried "Foul"Her blue dress was what she wore.The day they laid her body downOh no, Oh no, Oh no, no, no, no
Tell me it was just a dream - August 7 4:15God closed His eyes and the world got meanAugust 7 4:15 .I know tonight that there's an angelUp on Heaven's highest hill.And no one there can hurt you babyNo one ever will.Somewhere someone's conscienceis like a burning bedThe 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 4:15God closed His eyes and the world got meanAugust 7 4:15
