David Prince - Next Time Lyrics

I don't know if there will be a next time for you and me, baby
But if there is, I wonder what will change
Cause it seems to me that we dealt with lots of things this time around
That were totally avoidable, terrible and strange
So for your's and mine and everybody's sake
Let's try not to make the same mistakes
Next time let's all be protective of each other
Save as many lives as possible, no matter what it takes
Next time help us put aside our petty freedoms
Let's try not to make the same mistakes
Next time, help us realize we all have different struggles
And next time, help us do all that we can
To protect all human lives, even those we don't agree with
Instead of judging, help us find a way to understand
And for your's and mine and all our children's children's sake
Let's try not to make the same mistakes
Next time, maybe we'll have just one consistent message
And give us leaders with humility and wisdom, for heaven's sake
And let's try to do the things they ask - even the things that we might question
Let's try not to make the same mistakes
Next time, let's not point our fingers at each other
Next time, let's just trust that we're all doing the best we can
Next time help us know the consequence of every choice we make
And let's try not to make the same mistakes
