Something

Something has happened,
to the old days, the days when everyone would play,
people roll their eyes at your sweet face,
look what happened today.
One little boy with big dream,
decided he had no one to share it with,
so he took his own and left his home,
and when he got to the place he wanted,
he was so alone, and all of sudden out of nowhere there came gunshot.
Something has happened,
to the old days, the days when everyone, oh everyone would play,
people roll their eyes at your sweet face,
oh, look what happened today.
Little girl crying on her front steps,
not sure what happened just then,
her daddy's hand just hit her mama,
right across the face, oh, it's a sad world,
for that innocent little girl.
Something has happened,
to the old days, the days when everyone, oh everyone would play,
people roll their eyes at your sweet face,
oh, look what happened today.
A boy wonders will ever be cute enough for her,
and a girl who wonders will she ever be good enough,
good enough, for him,
they both walk a lonely road, to their fate of death,
not sure why i'm coming along,
but i wanna be there for them.
Something happened today, something strong,
and significant in its own way,
something happened to the old days,
the days when everyone used to play,
people just walked on by as a child lay,
on the ground, i'm so sad words aren't coming out of his mouth.
It's too strong to take all in at once,
it's too evil to realize,
and sometimes it will open your eyes,
to the world and the curtains you've hid behind.
Something happened today, something strong,
and significant in its own way,
something happened to the old days,
the days when everyone used to play,
people just walked on by as a child lay,
on the ground, i'm so sad the words coming out of her mouth.
