Slow News Day

How many times a pop star can go under the knife? Seems to be the conversation makin' rounds tonight And standing at the bar, two friends are lookin' for a fight Over what the Bible says is wrong or right When someone made a movie about Jesus on the cross A journalism war of what is truth and what is not Was all that they could talk about everyday for weeks? And do you think that's how He wanted it to be Lately, I pray for a slow news day 'Cause everything good's not bad enough for the front page For every ten we lose, we only hear of one that's saved Sometimes, I wanna hide away the rain for a slow news day People are still good that I always will believe But these it feels like everyone could use a little peace Living in a world that's filled with fear and worry It might be time for us to hear a different story Lately, I pray for a slow news day 'Cause everything good's not bad enough for the front page For every ten we lose, we only hear of one that's saved Sometimes, I wanna hide away the rain for a slow news day When I wake up I don't wanna see Those headlines on the TV screen Lately, I pray for a slow news day 'Cause everything good's not bad enough for the front page For every ten we lose, we only hear of one that's saved Sometimes, I wanna hide away the rain for a slow news day A slow news day --- Slow News Day - Terri Clark
