We Wait And We Wonder

We stand, hang our heads disbelieving


then not knowing how could such a thing be wrong


we wonder just what must they be thinking


to take a life of one so young



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


how far must they go, to prove to you?



We wait and we wonder how this happened


killing the old, the innocent, the young


while sons follow in fathers footsteps not understanding


that what they do could somehow be so wrong



So tell me when will tit be over now, how soon?


how far must they 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 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
