WHY (Free Song, 2008)

Go back to All Lyrics

Children shouldn’t play on a dirty street

In a shanty town with nothing to eat

Where they only dream of going to school

Where they do not know what it is to be full

Chorus:

I say

Take the good and let it lead the way

Sweet peace

Will I live to see the day?

I will die

Going to my grave still asking why

Do you cry

When you see those empty eyes?

Why do we fight

Why do we bleed

Why do we war

Over things we don’t need

Why do we hurt

When we all want to heal

Desperate voices

In a world that’s too real

Women should not fear the setting sun

Where there is no shelter left to run

Men should be sleeping in their beds

After the thanks for daily bread

Chorus

Bridge

No one should ever understand

What it is to lose his in men

Through all the turmoil and the strife

What is the value of one life?

Chorus
