1. Oh, we stand, hang our heads disbelieving,
C G F
then not knowing how could
such a thing be wrong.
C G F
Oh, we wonder just what they
must be thinking,
C - G F
oh, to take a life of
one so young.
Dm Em F
So tell me when will it be
over now, how soon?
Dm - Em F
How far must we go, to prove to you?
C G F
2. We wait and we wonder how this happened,
C G F
killing the old, the innocent,
the young.
C G F
While sons follow in fathers’
footsteps, not understanding
C G F
that what they do could
somehow be so wrong.
Dm Em F
So tell me when will it be
over now, how soon?
Dm - Em F
How far must we go, to prove to you?
C
So we will wait and we'll
wonder

3. No regrets, no forgiveness, no compassion,
C G F
these brave heroes only know
to hit and run.
C G F
Slowly my sadness turns to
rage and we wonder,
C G F
how can these scars ever heal,
when all is said and done ?
Dm Em F
So tell me when will it be
over now, how soon?
Dm Em
F
How many tears must fall to
prove to you?
Dm Em F
Please tell me, when will it
be over now, how soon?
Dm - Em F
And how far must they go, to prove to you?

wonder.

Yes, we’ll wait and we wonder.
