There are leaves falling all around my feet With the wind howling high, I looked up at the sky The clouds were grey and bleak Rain will come while I’m still travelling on To the place where she hides, from the struggles in life It’s hard for her being all alone How many wrongs does it take to make everything all right? How long has this been going on? Through the streets people stand and stare Now with me by her side, there’s no reason to hide It’s safe to make the steps that she needs To be free, to live in society There is hope in our hearts ther’ll be a new start For her, for all, we’re making space for peace How many wrongs does it take to make everything all right? For we are the same, how’d you think it’s ok to treat others this way? So she has to fight for her rights, and for the rest of the world Brave stories that she holds so deep All the risks that she took doing her work courageously Now with support, protecting her every move See the strength in her eyes, now is the time Speak out and be the voice that’s heard How many wrongs does it take to make everything all right? For we are the same, how’d you think its ok to treat others this way? So she has to fight for her rights, and for the rest of our world So long been waiting for this day to come So long been waiting to be free from harm Wanting to belong How many wrongs does it take to make everything all right? For we are the same, how’d you think its ok to treat others this way? So she has to fight for her rights, and for the rest of the world Why, when, she belongs Why when we all belong Why when we all belong
