The day that music died was an awful day
the children started working instead of play
our poets read from scripts to earn their pay
i tell them exit stage left aint got shit to say
Cause music brings us life when we are dead
an honest melody to break the trend
and music brings us hope for future peace
humanity will sing in harmony
I pray for that day
The day that music died was an awful day
the critics and the skeptics had all the say
this money hungry industry must back away
set the music free or watch it fade away
Cause music brings us life when we are dead
an honest melody to break the trend
and music brings us hope for future peace
humanity will sing in harmony
I pray for that day
