When you sit there crying is there anything I can do
To take away your pain just to reach out and comfort
The headlines scream in widescreen blurry special effects
Till the glitch in the camera and momentarily the action stops

And in that one moment of silence all eyes are focussed
On the child in the road and the oncoming doom
Hearts no longer divided over justice or crime
Here is only one verdict and the child takes the blame

When you sit there crying...

Do you think they didn't see him just a simple mistake
If it was you not some other wouldn't you have done the same
So let go of your righteousness and rest the poor soul
Would your death still living restore the loss of another

When you sit there crying is there anything I can do
To take away your pain just to reach out and comfort
The headlines scream in widescreen blurry special effects
Till the glitch in the camera and momentarily the action

Is more than I could have taken neither you or I
A moment of horror that might just change this world
Were this here tomorrow a re-run of this now
Would things be any different for the life of the child

Tell me now can you feel it, Have you truly witnessed pain
Real tears that just wont dry up, For a moment in time
When two worlds collided, Like the child and the truck
And heaven touched earth, To collect up it's child
