How many years keep on slipping away
An' it seems that your life doesn't matter
You never had a chance

How many ways is a love torn apart
An' you look to your heart for some answers
Don't let it slip away

Can't blame myself anymore, I've been beaten an' accused before
Well I took some bad advice, an' I paid too high a price
I could sell my soul, you know I wouldn't think twice

How many times must a man fall down
I said whoa-oh-oh oh-oh-oh oh
How many dreams have to fall to the ground
It goes on an' on an' on an' on an' on, yeah

How many times do you look for some sign
That there's hope, an' your life has some meaning
Almost every day, hey, hey

Maybe I was born to wander, I got no high hopes any longer
So tell me my friend, just where does it end
Is nothing ever gonna free me from this hell I'm living in

How many times must a man fall down
I said whoa-oh-oh oh-oh-oh oh
How many dreams have to fall to the ground
It goes on an' on an' on an' on an' on, yeah
Can't blame myself anymore, I've been beaten an' accused before
So tell me my friend, just where does it end
I'm sick an' tired of living in a rat race that no one ever wins

How many times must a man fall down
I said whoa-oh-oh oh-oh-oh oh
How many dreams have to fall to the ground
It goes on an' on an' on an' on an' on, yeah

How many times must a man fall down
I said whoa-oh-oh oh-oh-oh oh
How many dreams have to fall to the ground
It goes on an' on an' on an' on an' on, yeah
