How Many People lyrics

How many people

Stand in a line?

How many people

Never get a chance to shine?

If you can tell me

I'll gladly listen

How many people have died?

One too many right now for me

I want to be happy,

I want to be free,

One too many right now for me

I want to see ordinary people living peacefully.

How many people

Go for a ride

How many people

Never make it through to the other side?

If you can tell me

I'll gladly listen,

How many people have cried?

One too many right now for me

I want to be happy,

I want to be free,

One too many right now for me

I want to see ordinary people living peacefully

How many people

Will it take?

How many people

For goodness sake?

How many people?

How many people?

One too many
