How many years can a mountain exist
Before it's washed to the sea
How many years can some people exist
Before they're allowed to be free
How many times can a man turn his head
Pretending that he just doesn't see

 Refrain 

How many times must a man look up
Before he really sees the sky
How many ears must one person have
Before he can hear people cry
How many deaths will it take till he knows
that too many people have died

 Refrain
