Lyrics of Why

I'm sitting here reading the book of life
Constantly asking myself why
Why do babies have to die
And a mother, oh, no gives up a price

Can you see the man on the streets
He doesn't even have enough to eat
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 that won't give a pot a gold
Oh no, why before my life comes to an end
Let's try to make amends and let's give it a chance

Tell me why, tell me why
Tell me why, tell me why

Baby don't know her fathers name
The 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

And just like the sand on the beach
And 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 does this world seem so cold
Just like a rich man that won't give a pot of gold
Oh no, 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, tell me why
Tell me why, tell me why, tell me why
Tell me why, tell me why, tell me why
I gotta know tell me why

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
Looking for a better day
Can we turn around, turn around, turn around

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
Looking for a better day
Can we turn around, turn around, turn around

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
Looking for a better day
Can we turn around, turn around, turn around

Why do things go the way they do
Everybody, i'm asking you
Can we turn around, turn around, turn around
