I get in the car, another tragic disaster
But I'm safe where I am, yet another is captured
The traffic is stopped
People just stare
Another alert
Does the kid have a prayer?
Life is not fair
It's hard to look outside my door
With all the news reports and more
Yet I will do my part and stay on alert
For all the kids out there who are getting hurt
It could have happened to me
Can you make me believe
This could have a happy end
'Cause I am one of them [ Lyrics from: http://www.lyricsmode.com/lyrics/a/aly_aj/i_am_one_of_them.html ]
I try to grow up, but I am chased by my fears
It could happen to me, and I worry in tears
Reports of the girl
Makin' me scared
Led off to die
Why was I spared?
Life is not fair!
It's hard to look outside my door
With all the news reports and more
Yet I will do my part and stay on alert
For all the kids out there who are getting hurt
It could have happened to me
Can you make me believe
This could have a happy end
'Cause I am one of them
I am one of them, am one of them
I am one of them, am one of them
I am one of them, am one of them
I wish I could bring back all of them
Yeah they were talking about how they were watching the news and they saw a story about some little girl who was kidnapped and they felt so terrible they wrote the song right there. It is really scary if you think about it that it could happen to anyone, there are some horrtible things that happen to these kids. I think it's great that they're trying to raise awareness and help keep these kids safe. I like this song a lot too:)
This song talks about being scared but aware of kidnapping situations. The singer wonders why the certain person was taken and not her. She doesn't feel safe because she could just have easily been the one taken. At the end she sends out a pwerful message of wishing she could help all those who need it. I love the song.
