It was another day,
a perfect Texas afternoon
A mother and two children
played the way they always do
As they raced home from the mailbox,
a mother and her son
Against a little girl of six years old,
the independent one
The deputies went door -to -door,
crawled 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 7th, 415
God closed his eyes and the world got me
On the 7 -4 -15
Now the people from the papers
And the local TV news
Try to find the reason
Cop dogs sniffed around for clues
Someone shouted hit and run
The coroner cried foul
The 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, 415
God closed his eyes
and the world got mean
August 7th, 415
I know tonight 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 around you,
now you're 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
Tell me it was just a dream
August 7, 4, 15
God closed his eyes
and the world got mean
August 7, 415 415 415 415
415 415
Falling, falling, falling, falling, falling
