Directions
They tell me
When I've got my life on my mind
They're sorry
But they can't do a thing about it 'til tomorrow
I tell them
Now I don't want a lot of your time
Maybe they listen
Oh, but what do they know of my pain and my sorrow?
Ooh, what will it cost you
After how many tears I've cried?
How much longer, how much longer
Must I try?
Directions presenting themselves every day
Are bypassed, bypassed
'Cause of somebody else's foolish limitations
Rejections many have I had in my way
But I go on, yes, I do now
And try to overcome the bad vibrations
Ooh, what does it get you
Stealing somebody else's pride?
How much longer, how much longer
Must I try?
I can see all the things of which I've dreamed
If I dream any longer, tell me, what will it mean?
Reflections
Of all I have wanted so long
Still are with me
As I ask myself how much longer must I try
How much longer? Ooh
When I've got my life on my mind
They're sorry
But they can't do a thing about it 'til tomorrow
I tell them
Now I don't want a lot of your time
Maybe they listen
Oh, but what do they know of my pain and my sorrow?
Ooh, what will it cost you
After how many tears I've cried?
How much longer, how much longer
Must I try?
Directions presenting themselves every day
Are bypassed, bypassed
'Cause of somebody else's foolish limitations
Rejections many have I had in my way
But I go on, yes, I do now
And try to overcome the bad vibrations
Ooh, what does it get you
Stealing somebody else's pride?
How much longer, how much longer
Must I try?
I can see all the things of which I've dreamed
If I dream any longer, tell me, what will it mean?
Reflections
Of all I have wanted so long
Still are with me
As I ask myself how much longer must I try
How much longer? Ooh
