 We stand,  hang our heads  disbelieving
 then not knowing  how could such  a thing be wrong
 we wonder  just what  they must be thinking
 to take  a life  of one so young
 So tell me.. when  will it be over  now, how  soon?
 how far  must we 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
 Pre-Chorus/Chorus
 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 compasssion
 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
 Pre-Chorus/Chorus
 So tell me.. when  will it be over  now, how  soon?
 how far  must we go, to prove  to you?
 Please tell me..when  will it be over  now, how  soon?
 how far  must we go, to prove  to you?
 So we wait and we wonder
 The End
