[Phil Collins - We Wait and We Wonder lyrics]

We stand, hang our heads disbelieving
Then not knowing how could such
A thing be wrong
We wonder just what they must be thinking
To take a life of one so young

So tell me when will it be over now
How soon?
How far must they go, to prove to you?

We wait and we wonder how this happened
Killing the old, the innocent, the young
While sons follow in fathers
Footsteps not understanding
That what they do could somehow be so wrong

So tell me when will it be over now
How soon?
How far must they go, to prove to you?

So we will wait and we'll wonder

No regrets, no forgiveness, no compassion
These brave heroes only know to hit and run
Slowly my sadness turns to rage and we wonder
How can these scars ever heal
When all is said and done

So tell me when will it be over now
How soon?
How many tears must fall, to prove to you?
Please tell me when will it be over now
How soon?
And how far must they go, to prove to you?

So we wait and we wonder
Yes we wait and we wonder
We wait, we wait and we wonder
Yes we wait, we'll wait and we'll wonder
Yes we wait, so all my life
We wait and we wonder
Yes we wait and we wonder
