Yes, ’n’ how many ears must one man have
 Before he can hear people cry?
 Yes, ’n’ how many deaths will it take till he knows
 That too many people have died?

 I met a young woman whose body was burning
 I met a young girl, she gave me a rainbow
 I met one man who was wounded in love
 I met another man who was wounded with hatred

 Keeping away from the women
 I’m givin’ ’em lots of room

 Just to know that you are near
 Sets my heart a-reeling
 From my toes up to my ears

 Thunder on the mountain, rolling like a drum
 Gonna sleep over there, that's where the music coming from
 I don't need any guide, I already know the way
 Remember this, I'm your servant both night and day
