How Many People

(album: Flowers In The Dirt - 1989)

How many people stand in a line?
How many people never get a chance to shine?
If you can tell me, I'll gladly listen
How many people have died?

One too many right now for me
I want to be happy, I want to be free
One too many right now for me
I want to see ordinary people living peacefully

How many people go for a ride?
How many people never make it through to the other side?
If you can tell me, I'll gladly listen
How many people have cried?

One too many right now for me
I want to be happy, I want to be free
One too many right now for me
I want to see ordinary people living peacefully

How many people will it take?
How many people for goodness sake?
How many people?
How many people?
One too many
