Lyric Slow News Day

(Terri Clark)

How many times a pop star can go under the knife
Seems to be the conversation makin rounds tonight
And standin at the bar, two friends are looking 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 every day for weeks
And do you think that s how he wanted it to be.

Chorus:
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 and pray
For a slow news day.

People are still good, that I always will believe
But these days it feels like everyone could use a little peace
Livin in a world that s filled with fear and worry
It might be time for us to hear a different story.

Chorus:
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 and pray
For a slow news day.

When I wake up I don t wanna see
Those headlines on the TV screen.

Chorus:
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 and pray
For a slow news day.

A slow news day...
