Youth Asylum - Little Johnny (Snippet) lyrics

(Its gonna be a brighter day) I know it's gonna be a brighter day Cuz little Johnny was born today And he's gonna be the one to find us a better way (a better way, a better way) Lookin' in his mama's eyes All he sees is the tears she cries Don't have a clue what really lies ahead (oh no') Is he gonna have to find his way Cuz guns n d** r getting carried away These are things that keep runnin' through mama's head... (No no no no no no no) I know it's gonna be a brighter day Cuz little Johnny was born today And he's gonna be the one to find us a better way (a better way...) (Y.A. help me sing...) He's gonna need a little time to grow But little Johnny's got tomorrow And I know, he's gonna be the one to find us a better way (a better way, a better way...) (Y.A. help me sing...) Now listen as the siren goes by It's another mother's turn to cry Oh why, did we ever let the world turn so cold (so cold, so cold...) Well I know Johnny's gonna make a change He knows the road he's got to rearrange To make it better for his kids when he gets old (No no no no no no no') I know it's gonna be a brighter day Cuz little Johnny was born today And he's gonna be the one to find us a better way (a better way, a better way...) (Y.A. help me sing...) He's gonna need a little time to grow (ooh yea ooh yea) But little Johnny's got tomorrow And I know, he's gonna be the one to find us a better way (a better way, a better way...) (Y.A. help me...) How'd we ever let the world turn so cold People fightin and k**ing at twelve years old Don't you dare let the devil steal your soul Take you from the light and put you in control Play you for a fool And send you up in your school Blastin' guns and having kids on the run Then you take your own life But you can't hide Cuz now you find yourself face to face with God Go back and rewind, it's a new day So we can do it a better way We've gotta get it right for the sake of little Johnny Cuz today, he looked into the eyes of his mama This goes out to all the children that lost their lives in through senseless violence At Columbine High School in Colorado Heritage High in Georgia Heath High School in Kentucky Pearl High in Mississippi The west side Middle School in Arkansas And from South Central to Harlem World One love I know it's gonna be a brighter day Cuz little Johnny was born today And he's gonna be the one to find us a better way (a better way, a better way...) (Y.A. help me sing...) He's gonna need a little time to grow (ooh yea ooh yea...) But little Johnny's got tomorrow And I know, he's gonna be the one to find us a better way (a better way, a better way...) (Y.A. help me sing...) I know it's gonna be a brighter day Cuz little Johnny was born today And he's gonna be the one to find us a better way (Y.A. help me sing...) He's gonna need a little time to grow (A time to grow...) But little Johnny's got tomorrow And I know, he's gonna be the one to find us a better way Will you help me?
