How many times must I lead you to water And 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 And 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 'Cause 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 And 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 'Cause 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 Well, we're always looking for something new But what difference does it make when there's no point of view 'Cause when you can't even take care of the past Oh, 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 I'm begging you, please, I'm begging you, please I'm begging you, please, I'm begging you, please
