How many years has it taken for man to kill our planet?
And the animals and the people living on it?
And how many times have I asked you
For some spiritual enlightenment, to just let me in your mind?
'Cos there's seven days and seven nights
And seven seas between us
And the chances are there's a shooting star
And the angels there have seen us
And it's the same old tune on a different moon
And the nights are never-ending
We could still have glory, we could change the story
We could still have a happy ending
How many Christians have died with their faith?
There's been war, there's been famine
And their love is just as strong
And how many tears have your wept?
Tears of bitterness, tears of sorrow
It's hard to swallow but there'll never be a tomorrow
