A Human Named David - Please Try Peace Lyrics

In the valley of the spirits
Where they talk about people
Whispering wisdom contemplating good and evil
They sing of freedom
And they sing of faith
They sing a song which carries on and on
How many times does the world
Need to turn, till they learn something
Measure in sunsets, sunrises, or surprises
Till they learn something
And I can't read the news without falling to my knees
Can we please try peace
Well I heard these stories
Down a cobblestone road
And I thought they were ghosts for god sakes I was eight years old and they
Sang of family
And sang of love
They sang a song which carries on and on
How many times does the world
Need to turn, till they learn something
Measure in sunsets, sunrises, or surprises
Till we learn something
And I can't read the news without falling to my knees
Can we please try peace

Can you tell me how many
Waves are gonna crash on down before the shore brakes
Can you tell me how many
How many lives how many lives how many lives
How many lives is it gonna take
Can you tell me how many
I gotta know
Can you tell me how many
I gotta know, when are we gonna grow
We gotta fix this world man
Cuz it's slipping away
How many times does the world
Need to turn, till we learn something
Measure in sunsets, sunrises, or surprises
Till we learn something
And I can't read the news without falling to my knees
Can we please try peace
Can we please try peace
