How many more years will we have to die
Before we learn how to live?
And how many will we continue to wait for peace
With an olive and two swords?
And how many green trees will be burned
Because of wars and honor?
I have no answers and all the hopes
Have dispersed to all the winds [directions]
How many ears does a man need
To hear one who screams?
And how many will continue to turn their faces
Before they will look and see
And how many years will we be closed here
Before to freedom we depart?
I have no answers and all the hopes
Have dispersed to all the winds [directions]
How much does a man have to pass through
Before he is a man?
How many years will the mountains tand
Before they see the ocean?
And how many more shells still have to explode
Before everybody dies?
I have no answers and all the hopes
Have dispersed to all the winds [directions]
