When Will We Ever Learn

When will we ever learn As we watch the cities burn Someday it may be our turn When will we ever learn Doesn’t it make you want to cry Watching women and children die Look to heaven and just ask why Doesn’t it make you want to cry When will it be too late Spreading venom, spreading hate Costs that we can’t calculate When will it be too late On the inhumanity to man Justify it if you can Will there ever be a ban On the inhumanity to man As we face still another war When do we say no more Do we know what lies in store As we face still another war Do human beings have no shame Do we dare to kill in God’s name No one ever takes the blame Do human beings have no shame Where are all the leaders now Shall we just accept and bow Can prayer save the world somehow Where are all the leaders now When will we ever learn As we watch the cities burn Someday it may be out turn When will we ever learn
