One Too Many Times (Back to Discography)
She’ll be dancing with bare feet in the streetNobody’s there to tell her no
Twirling around with no music to sound her
Nobody’s there to catch her fall
It’s one more baby forgotten…
One too many time
Is there a chance to mend her hopeless heart
Or has everyone turned away
It’s not ok to stay in the dark
Little boy in the store with his clothes all torn
Nobody’s there, he’s not embarrassed, he cares
Carrying food for the family too soon
But, nobody’s there to carry him
It’s one more baby forgotten…
One too many times
Is there a chance to mend his hopeless heart
Or has everyone turned away
It’s not ok to stay in the dark
Brothers asleep on daddy’s feet
No room to dream
Baby turns his head, wishing he was dead
Nobody’s there to tell him no
It’s one more baby forgotten…
One too many times
Is there a chance to mend her hopeless heart
Or has everyone turned away
It’s not ok to stay in the dark
It’s not ok…the price has been paid
Children starved of their dreams and no one’s to blame for it
‘Cause nobody’s there to tell them no
Their hours are few; they’ll be gone too soon
And nothing to show for it
It’s one more baby forgotten…
One too many times
Is there a chance to mend their hopeless hearts
Or has everyone turned away
It’s not ok to stay in the dark
Oh…has everyone turned away (Repeat and fade…)
