How Many Times - Julian Lennon

How many times must I lead you to water

How many times must I catch you from grace

And how many times must the lamb go to slaughter

It seems that things will never change

How many times can you trust your conviction

How many times can you feel your own pain

And how many days of your life are prediction

It seems that things will never change

How many times can we develop something we’ve just done

And how many times can we re-run the race that we’ve just won

Well, we’re always looking, for something new

But what difference does it make, when there’s no point of view

'cos when you can’t even take care of the past

How do you expect the future to last?

Well, there’s people in pain, all over the world

And if something doesn’t change, between man and his world

Say goodbye to all the birds and the bees

Deforestation and the death of the trees

Immunization, as we fall to our knees

I’m begging you, please!

I’m begging you, please!

How many times can we live without loving

How many times can we choose our own fate

And how many times can we clip the white dove’s wing

It seems that things will never change

How many times can we sin without savior

And how many times can we cloud our own truth

And how many times must we judge our own failure

It seems that things will never change

How many times can we develop something we’ve just done

And how many times can we re-run the race that we’ve just won

Well, we’re always looking, for something new

But what difference does it make, when there’s no point of view

'cos when you can’t even take care of the past

How do you expect the future to last?

Well, there’s people in pain, all over the world

And if something doesn’t change, between man and his world

Say goodbye to all the birds and the bees

Deforestation and the death of the trees

Immunization, as we fall to our knees

I’m begging you, please!

I’m begging you, please!

How many times can we develop something we’ve just done

And how many times can we re-run the race that we’ve just won…
