It was another day, perfect Texas afternoon   Mother and two children play 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 through all 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 7, 4:15   God closed His eyes and the world got mean   August 7, 4:15      Now the people from the papers and the local TV news   Tried to find the reason, cop dogs sniffed around for clues   Someone shouted, "Hit and run" the coroner cried, "Foul"   Her blue 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, 4:15   God closed His eyes and the world got mean   August 7, 4:15   No no      I know tonight that 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 all around you, how you 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, 4:15      4:15   4:15   4:15   ...
