How Many Times Lyrics - Julian Lennon

How many times must I lead you to water 

And how many times must I catch you from grace 

And how many times must the lamb go to slaughter 

It seems that things will never change 

How many times can you trust your conviction 

And how many times can you feel your own pain 

And how many days of your life are prediction 

It seems that things will never change 

How many times can we develop something we've just done 

And how many times can we re-run the race that we've just won 

Well, we're always looking for something new 

But what difference does it make when there's no point of view 

'Cause when you can't even take care of the past 

How do you expect the future to last? 

Well, there's people in pain all over the world 

And if something doesn't change between man and his world 

Say goodbye to all the birds and the bees 

Deforestation and the death of the trees 

Immunization as we fall to our knees 

I'm begging you, please, I'm begging you, please 

How many times can we live without loving 

And how many times can we choose our own fate 

And how many times can we clip the white dove's wing 

It seems that things will never change 

How many times can we sin without Savior 

And how many times can we cloud our own truth 

And how many times must we judge our own failure 

It seems that things will never change 

How many times can we develop something we've just done 

And how many times can we re-run the race that we've just won 

Well, we're always looking for something new 

But what difference does it make when there's no point of view 

'Cause when you can't even take care of the past 

How do you expect the future to last? 

Well, there's people in pain all over the world 

And if something doesn't change between man and his world 

Say goodbye to all the birds and the bees 

Deforestation and the death of the trees 

Immunization as we fall to our knees 

I'm begging you, please, I'm begging you, please 

How many times can we develop something we've just done 

And how many times can we re-run the race that we've just won 

Well, we're always looking for something new 

But what difference does it make when there's no point of view 

'Cause when you can't even take care of the past 

Oh, how do you expect the future to last? 

Well, there's people in pain all over the world 

And if something doesn't change between man and his world 

Say goodbye to all the birds and the bees 

Deforestation and the death of the trees 

Immunization as we fall to our knees 

I'm begging you, please, I'm begging you, please 

I'm begging you, please, I'm begging you, please 

I'm begging you, please, I'm begging you, please
