Jimmy saw the sun chase away the night 
It was a quarter past seven 
His body warm like the morning light 
Had to be in school by eleven 
He told himself what they had done to him 
That's why 
Jimmy never felt real sad 
If only someone could have lent a hand 
Things would have never turned out so bad 
Who knows why black flies just live for one day 
Who knows why 
Hey turn around 
It's time to wake up and go back to tell the story 
Hey turn around 
It's time to wake up and go back to tell the story now 
Always sat alone in the back of the class 
Because no one would take him 
Today he stood in front of the rest 
His hands were shaking 
Who could have known what 
Jimmy thought 
Never had a chance to speak his words out loud 
The flies were burning in his head till 
Jimmy let them all out 
Who knows why black flies just live for one day 
Who knows why 
Hey turn around 
It's time to wake up and go back to tell the story 
Hey turn around 
It's time to wake up and go back to tell the story now 
It didn't pay to make fun of him 
Too late to say, "I'm sorry" 
No one would ever make fun of him 
You and I all the time 
Come with me 
Take my hand 
I will tell you when you're there 
Come with me 
Take my hand 
I will tell you when you're there 
Come with me 
Take my hand 
I will tell you when you're there
