How Many Times

How many times must we die?
And how many times must we live?
Why must the truth be denied?
When will the truth be revealed?
How many times must we learn?
And how many times must we fall?
How many times must we burn
For us to be one and all

You tell me that you're home again
The Sun will wake up the sky
With feelings of love

How many times must we care?
And how many times must we win?
When will the earth just stand still
So we can stop murdеring our kin

You tell me that you're homе again
The Sun will wake up the sky
Why must we be born again to rebel in July
With feelings of love

God waved us goodbye
To learn, to love and to die
Death screams goodbye
We belong to the night

You prophesized all of this from Belfast to Soweto
We canonized all prophets from Gaza to the ghettos
When justice, when awakeness turns the dreamless and the hopeless
Forgiveness for the witness
In this callous prognosis (-nosis, -nosis)

God waved us goodbye
To learn, to love and to die
Death screams goodbye
We belong
God waved us goodbye
To learn, to love and to die
Death screams goodbye
We belong to the night

How many times must we die?
How many times must we live?
