Tell Me Why
Mothers crying in the streetChildren dying at their feet, tell me whyPeople starving everywhereThere's too much food, but none to spare, tell me why
Can you see that shaft of sunlightCan you see it in my eyesI can feel the fire that's burningAnger and hope so deepSo deep within my heartBut before my eyesFor some it's too lateIt seems there's noone listening
People sleeping in the streetsNo roof above, no food to eat, tell me whySee the questions in their eyesListen to their children's cries, tell me why
If there's a God, is he watchingCan he give a ray of hopeSo much pain and so much sorrowTell me what does he seeWeh he looks at you, when he looks at meWhat would he sayIt seems there's noone listening
Who would think it still could happenEven in this time and placePoliticians, they may save themselvesBut they won't save their faceJust hope against hopeIt's not too late
You say there's nothing you can doIs there one rule for them and one for you, tell me why
Listen, can you see that shaft of sunlightCan you see it in my eyesI can feel the fire that's burningAnger and hope so deepSo deep within my heartBut before my eyesFor some it's too lateIt seems there's noone listening
Hurry for me, hurry for me, they cry
