How Long, How Many

How many years must I live by Rules destroying our lives? How many years till we stop this hate And finally change our own fate? We must hold on to love Together face the world Start our own fight against hate The answer is deep within our soul We must hold on to love We're living hard times, I know We won't get a chance Till we stop and make amends How long can a bird live in a cage? I don't know how many years How many years must I live by Rules destroying our lives? How many years till we stop this hate And finally change our own fate? Our love is resistance We won't fight from a distance If we don't make this change We're gonna end up segregated With the same fears With the same eyes I don't know I don't know when we will start making things right How long can a child live in a cage? How long? How long till we starve with all this hate? How much can you hold your breath under the sea? Oh It's getting so hard for me to see How many years must I live by Rules destroying our lives? How many years till we stop this hate, oh And finally change our own fate? Eh, eh, ey How many years must I live by Rules destroying our lives? How many years till we stop this hate, oh And finally change our own fate? Eh, ey How many years? I'm asking how many years? Hey, hey, hey I wanna change my fate How many years? How many days? Ooh, how many years? How many years? How many years? How many years?
