We Wait and We Wonder

We stand, hang our heads disbelieving Then not knowing how could such a thing be wrong Oh 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 Oh that what they do could somehow be so wrong So tell me when will it 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 Yes, we'll wait and we'll wonder We'll wait, we'll wait and we'll wonder Yes, we'll wait, we will wait and we'll wonder Yes, we'll wait... we'll wait all my life We'll wait and wonder Yes, we'll wait and we'll wonder
