Lyrics
On that December 8th, the day John Lennon died
Shocked people everywhere broke down and cried
He didn't need my tears, or my short silent prayer
A man like that had enough who cared
Chorus
Save your tears, say a prayer
For those who face
Life each day in harm's way
Out of grace
I still remember when, a nation said goodbye
How little John's salute brought tears to eyes
No one noticed I was late, for his Dad's parade
A man like that had enough who prayed
Chorus
Bridge
Babies born addicted, a drive-by shooting victim
Homeless who don't matter, a young wife bruised and battered
The old who die alone in a home that isn't home
They need us more to cry and care for
Chorus
Verse 1 (recap)
