So Many Tears, So Many Flowers

Peter Hicks
Language: English




So you tell me, my friend, that the answer lies in war,
That with our missiles we can blast our way to peace.
But I ask you, my friend, what is this killing for?
Does the blood of others really make us free?

So you tell me, my friend, there is no other way
Than to finish that which someone else begun.
But I ask you, my friend, will there ever be a day
When another's grief can bring me back my son?

So many tears, so many flowers,
So many theirs, so many ours,
How many more before we say, "Enough"?

So you tell me, my friend, we must show that we are strong,
Before the enemy we daren't lose face.
But I ask you, my friend, when adding wrong to wrong
Did ever make this world a safer place?

So you tell me, my friend, that by settling this score
We can stop it ever happening again.
But I tell you, my friend, that's all been said before,
So many times I cannot count the pain.

So many tears, so many flowers,
So many theirs, so many ours,
How many more before we say, "Enough"?

So you tell me, my friend, that we do not have a prayer
Of a world where peace for all will have its day.
But I tell you, my friend, if we'll only learn to share
With dignity, we'll live a better way. So many tears, so many flowers,

So many theirs, so many ours,
How many more before we say, "Enough"?
So many tears, so many flowers,
So many theirs, so many ours,
How many more before we say, "Enough"?
