We Wait and We Wonder

Always stand, hang our heads, kiss the living

And I know, how could such a thing be wrong

Oh, we wonder just what they must be thinking

Oh, to take a life of one so young

So tell me, when will you be over now? How soon?

How far must they go to prove to you?

While we wait and we wonder how this happened

Killing the old, the innocent, the young

While sons following father's footsteps not understanding

That what they do, could somehow be so wrong

So tell me, when will it be over now? How soon?

How far must we go to prove to you?

So we will wait and we'll wonder

No regrets, no forgiveness, no compassion

These brave heroes only know to hit and run

Slowly in my sadness turns to rage and we wonder

How can these scars ever heal

When all is said and done?

So tell me, when will it be over now? How soon?

How many tears must fall to prove to you?

Please tell me, when will it be over now? How soon?

And how far must they go to prove to you?

So we wait and we wonder

Yes, we'll wait and we'll wonder

We wait, we wait and we wonder

Yes, we wait, we wait and we will wonder

Yes, we wait, so all my life

We wait and we wonder

Yes, we wait and we wonder
