So Many Times - Roy Acuff

So many times

I’ve been fooling myself

It’s a hard hand to play

Falls on nobody else

Those in the city

Reaching out to grab hold

Of something they’ve only heard about

And never been shown

Who do you turn to and what do you say

When she’s got the power and she got the way

Does it matter at all

Who survives and who falls

When we live under darkness

And hide behind walls

Why would anyone

Even try to hold sway

Over somebody else

In such a small way

Where are the answers

To the problems we face

Who would teach us

About sharing and living in grace

Who do you turn to and what do you say

When she’s got the power and she got the way

Does it matter at all

Who survives and who falls

When we live under darkness

And hide behind walls
