Jackson Browne - How Long слова песни
When you look into a childs faceAnd youre seeing the human raceAnd the endless possibilities thereWhere so much can come trueAnd you think of the beautiful thingsA child can doHow long -- would the child surviveHow long -- if it was up to youWhen you think about the money spentOn defense by a governmentAnd the weapons of destruction weve builtWere so sure that we needAnd you think of the millions and millionsThat money could feedHow long -- can you hear someone cryingHow long -- can you hear someone dyingBefore you ask yourself why? And how long will we hear people speakingAbout missiles for peaceAnd just let it go byHow long will they tell us these weaponsAre keeping us freeThats a lieIf you saw it from a satelliteWith its green and its blue and whiteThe beauty of the curve of the earthAnd its oceans belowYou might think it was paradiseIf you didnt knowYou might think that its turningBut its turning so slowHow long -- can you hear someone cryingHow long -- can you hear someone dyingBefore you ask yourself why? And how long will it be till weve turnedTo the tasks and the skillsThat well have to have learnedIf were going to find our place in the futureAnd have something to offerWhere this planets concernedHow long?
