Lyrics
Why are all the rivers running dry,
Why can't we breathe, there's smoke in the sky?
Why do so many migrants hide from ICE in fear,
Why do the powers refuse to hear?
[Verse 2]
Cries of hungry children echo in the night,
They're snatching kids from school, in plain sight.
Can't wrap my head around the state of things today,
I just get down on my knees, I pray and pray.
[Bridge]
Lord, lift this burden from off my back,
Help me seek the wisdom that I lack.
So many things I just don't understand,
Man's inhumanity to his fellow man.
[Chorus]
So many questions, so few answers,
Why are the politicians so damned nasty?
So many questions, but we have to ask them,
What's the endgame here, who's doing the asking?
[Verse 3]
Why does the right hate the left?
Why does he lie with every breath?
Why can't they see all the corruption?
Does God hear my prayers, or is it all for nothing?
[Verse 4]
People disappearing from the street,
Can't afford the price of food I eat.
Gallon of gas has gone sky high,
Television networks spreading lies.
[Bridge]
I just don't know where we're heading,
Glimpses of dark futures I am dreading.
Certain people wishing for civil war,
Cancel DEI just to even up the score.
[Chorus]
So many questions, so few answers,
Hate has become contagious, why answer that?
Why is no one left to pick the lettuce?
Why the fools in charge just don't get it?
So many questions, but no answers,
SCOTUS compromised, tell me who paid them?
[Verse 5]
Why do some resent the color of a person's skin?
Why can't some see the sad state we're in?
You know that we need answers, so little time,
Why can't we find the rhythm and rhyme to life?
[Outro]
Questions linger in the fading light,
Searching for truth in the warmth of the night.
