Somewhere in a store
In any town in America
Is a child who wants a doll
Any doll in America
They are only four
So much life in store
Somewhere in a home
In any town in America
Is a child who feels alone
Feels alone in America
They feel it in their bones
In this body they are not at home
Somewhere in a church
In any town in America
A child is trying to fit in
To fit in in America
They don't understand
They don't know God's plan
Somewhere on the streets
In any city in America
Is a girl working the heat
In the heat of America
She picks up a john
Oh, but something's wrong
Then the world melts all around her
As she struggles for his knife
He yells, "I'll kill you freak"
As she struggles for her life
She narrowly escapes him
But not without a scratch or two
She is just fifteen
But she knows the streets are mean
In America
In America
In America
Any town in America
Any town in America
