| I’m sitting here reading the book of life
|
| constantly asking myself why
|
| why do babies have to die
|
| and a mother gives up a price
|
| can you see the man on the streets
|
| doesn’t even have enough to eat
|
| and tell me when your walking by can you see the tears in his eye
|
| somebody please tell me why
|
| why
|
| why does this world seem so cold
|
| just like a rich man who won’t give a pot a gold
|
| why
|
| before my life comes to an end let’s try to make amends and let’s give it a chance
|
| tell me why 4x
|
| Baby don’t know her fathers name
|
| mother’s confused just the same
|
| she’s saying that it’s alright
|
| but she needs a father in her life
|
| somebody please tell me why
|
| just like the sand on the beach
|
| just like the ocean runs so deep
|
| we all must take our part
|
| and dig deep in our heart
|
| but I don’t know where to start
|
| someone tell me why
|
| why, why does this world seem so cold
|
| just like a rich man who won’t give a pot of gold
|
| oh no, why, why before my life comes to an end
|
| let’s try to make amends and let’s give it a chance
|
| oh tell me why 10x
|
| why do things go the way they do everybody I’m asking you can we turn around, turn around, turn around
|
| Things don’t have to be this way
|
| I’m looking for a better day can we turn around, turn around, turn around 4x |
