So Many Times

So many times
 I've been fooling myself
 It's a hard hand to play
 Falls on nobody else
 Those in the city
 Reaching out to grab hold
 Of something they've only heard about
 And never been shown
 Who do you turn to and what do you say?
 When she's got the power and she got the way
 Does it matter at all
 Who survives and who falls
 When we live under darkness
 And hide behind walls?
 Why would anyone
 Even try to hold sway
 Over somebody else
 In such a small way
 Where are the answers
 To the problems we face?
 Who would teach us
 About sharing and living in grace?
 Who do you turn to and what do you say
 When she's got the power and she got the way?
 Does it matter at all
 Who survives and who falls
 When we live under darkness
 And hide behind walls?
