Yesterdays News

Everyday and there is another story to be told Of someone dying other then the old Because todays headlines Is yesterdays news And all over again It is another mans pain And the world reads about it all A little boy with only memories of his dad laying dead at his feet Dad walked his son to school on them bad streets A mother and a father laying dead in their beds A stranger shoots them at close range in the head Someone needs to know That you love them right now Let's spread some of God's love all around Because tomorrow isn't promised at all It seems other have no care for a human life at all Every time you hear the news someone is drying Listen to the voices that are crying Of two little girls laying dead on a path one walks on every day I hope you are listening to the words I say A sixteen year old And her father decides that she can drive A mother toss her only child to the side Is no longer alive A father lost his wife A mother her life And the world reads about it all Still a lot of people dying that isn't saved This isn't something that is on my mind The bible speaks about it all before the end of time Family against families killing one another Fathers, Mothers sisters against brothers And death has no mercy it passes none of these by Some of us are only left with tears to cry Because a father shoot in the back of the head Trying to protect his family now he is dead Fire takes a little boys life Because he runs back into the house To save his mother, only to be remembered as a hero Everyday and there is still another story to be told Of someone dying other then the old Because todays headlines is yesterdays news And all over again it is another mans pain And the world reads about it all Yesterdays news!
