Soundbytes - How Many?

How Many? Words and Music by Margie Adam
	And every weekend He dreads the Sunday Times Knowing he cannot resist Searching for the names he knows he'll find He'll look through every section Impatient with the fear The need to know - the worst of all To keep his options clear How many hearts will be broken? How many hearts will be opened? How many lives will be shaken? How many lives will be taken? She was there when it started Offering her open heart All her children are grown now She can bring her life - and be a part In the hospital hallway She touches each one's hand 'My boys" she says 'I love them all, I give them what I can". How many hearts will be broken? How many hearts will be opened? How many lives will be shaken? How many lives will be taken? And now that you've lost him Everything is still and cold Making sense of the everyday Such an effort now - to keep a hold So you call to let me know You'll soon be moving home The doctor says 'surround yourself... With family of your own". How many hearts will be broken? How many hearts will be opened? How many lives will be shaken? How many lives? How many lives? How many lives?
