Lyrics

How Many ?





How many more families will be missing kids tomorrow
How many more cliches for grief and heartbreak must we borrow ?
How many will wake up with their hearts empty and hollow


How many ?


What can we do to stop this constant, never ending pain ?
How long can we turn our backs and not take any blame ?
How many more days must we put up with this shame ?

How many ?


Chorus

In this day and age we can send men to the moon
We can travel where we want around the planet
Ending all this slaughter can't come to soon
It surely can't be beyond our power, can it ?

Verse


To end this cycle of despair we surely must be able
Till then how many more lifeless souls will be cradled ?
How many more empty chairs will there be at the kitchen table ?


How many ?



Instrumental


Chorus

In this day and age we can send men to the moon
We can travel where we want around the planet
Ending all this slaughter can't come too soon
It surely can't be beyond our power, can it ?


Verse

Till we find a solution there's no little action left
Only more taking of life... the cruellest form of theft
Till then we'll watch mothers and fathers left bereft

How many ?


Chorus


In this day and age we can send men to the moon
We can travel where we want around the planet
Ending all this slaughter can't come too soon
It surely can't be beyond our power, can it ?




Verse

How many more families will be missing kids tomorrow ?
How many more cliches for grief and heartbreak must we borrow ?
How many will wake up with their hearts empty and hollow

How many ?
