Tell Me Why |
| Mothers crying in the street |
| Children dying at their feet, tell me why |
| People starving everywhere there’s too much food but none to spare, tell me why |
| Can you see that shaft of sunlight |
| Can you see it in my eyes |
| I can feel the fire that’s burning |
| Anger and hope so deep |
| So deep within my heart |
| Before my eyes |
| For some it seems to late |
| It seems there’s no-one listening |
| People sleeping in the streets |
| No roof above no food to eat, tell me why |
| See the questions in their eyes |
| Listen to their childrens cries |
| Tell me why |
| If there’s a God, is he watching |
| Can he give a ray of hope |
| So much pain so much sorrow |
| Tell me what does he see |
| When he looks at you |
| When he looks at me |
| What would he say |
| It seems there’s no-one listening |
| Who would think it still could happen |
| Even in this time and place |
| Politicians, they may save themselves |
| But they won’t save their face |
| Just hope against hope |
| It’s not to late |
| You say there’s nothing you can do |
| Is there one rule for them and one for you |
| Tell me why |
| Listen can you see that shaft of sunlight |
| Can you see it in my eyes |
| I can feel the fire that’s burning |
| Anger and hope so deep |
| So deep within my heart |
| Before my eyes |
| For some it’s to late |
| It seems there’s no-one listening |
| Hurry for me, hurry for me, they cry |
