Original lyrics
How Come, How Long
There was a girl I used to know
She was oh so beautiful
But she's not here anymore
She had a college degree
Smart as anyone could be
Had so much to live for
But she fell in love
With the wrong kinda man
He abused her love and treated her so bad
There was not enough education in her world
That could save the life of this little girl
How come, how long
It's not right, it's so wrong
Do we let it just go on
Turn our backs and carry on
Wake up, for it's too late
Right now, we can't wait
She won't have a second try
Open up your hearts
As well as your eyes
She tried to give a cry for help
She even blamed things on herself
But no one came to her aid
Nothing was wrong as far as we could tell
That's what we'd like to tell ourselves
But no, it wasn't that way
So she fell in love
With the wrong kinda man
And she paid with her life
For loving that man
So we cannot ignore,
We must look for the signs
And maybe next time we might save
somebody's life
How come, how long
It's not right, it's so wrong
Do we let it just go on
Turn our backs and carry on
Wake up, for it's too late
Right now, we can't wait
She won't have a second try
Open up your hearts
As well as your eyes
I on occasion met that guy
It's been a feeling deep inside
Some about it wasn't right
The way he proves himself a man
By beating his woman with his hands
Oh I wish that she'd seen the light
How can someone like that call himself a man
He's not a man
In reality, he is far more less than
And we cannot ignore
Whenever we see the signs
'Cause any kind of abuse
God knows, it's a crime
How come, how long
It's not right, it's so wrong
Do we let it just go on
Turn our backs and carry on
Wake up, for it's too late
Right now, we can't wait
She won't have a second try
Open up your hearts
As well as your eyes

Kako to,koliko dugo
Postojala je devojka koju sam nekad poznavao
Oh bila je tako lepa
Ali više ovde nije
Imala je diplomu koledža
Pametna kao što bi svako mogao biti
Imala je za mnogo toga da živi
Ali se zaljubila
U pogrešnu vrstu muškarca
Zloupotrebio je njenu ljubav i ponašao se tako loše prema nioj
Nije bilo dovoljno obrazovanja u njenom svetu
Koji bi mogao spasiti život ove devojčice
Kako to,koliko dugo
Nije u redu,tako je pogrešno
Da li dopuštamo da se samo nastavi
Okrenemo leđa i nastavimo dalje
Probudi se,jer previše je kasno
Upravo sad,ne možemo čekati
Ona neće imati drugu priliku
Otvorite svoja srca
Kao i vaše oči
Pokušala je vapaj za pomoć
Čak je krivila i sebe
Ali joj niko nije došao u pomoć
Ništa nije bilo pogrešno koliko mi možemo reći
To je ono što mi volimo da pričamo sebi
Ali ne,nije bilo tako
Dakle ona se zaljubila
U pogrešnu vrstu muškarca
I platila je životom
Jer ga je volela
Tako da ne možemo ignorisati
Moramo tragati za znacima
I možda sledeći put možemo sačuvati
Nečiji život
Kako to,koliko dugo
Nije u redu,tako je pogrešno
Da li dopuštamo da se samo nastavi
Okrenemo leđa i nastavimo dalje
Probudi se,jer previše je kasno
Upravo sad,ne možemo čekati
Ona neće imati drugu priliku
Otvorite svoja srca
Kao i vaše oči
Jednom prilikom sam sreo tog tipa
Osećaj je bio duboko iznutra
Nešto nije bilo u redu
Način na koji se dokazivao kao muško
Rukama tukući svoju ženu
Oh voleo bih da je videla svetlo
Kako neko kao takav može sebe nazivati muškarcem
On nije čovek
U stvarnosti,on je mnogo manje od toga
A mi ne možemo ignorisati
Kad god vidimo znake
Jer bilo koja vrsta zlostavljanja
Bog zna,zločin je
Kako to,koliko dugo
Nije u redu,tako je pogrešno
Da li dopuštamo da se samo nastavi
Okrenemo leđa i nastavimo dalje
Probudi se,jer previše je kasno
Upravo sad,ne možemo čekati
Ona neće imati drugu priliku
Otvorite svoja srca
Kao i vaše oči
