Lyrics
Got up this morning
Thinking
What will be coming
My way
Today?
For no special reason
Turned on the television.
What did I see?
I see a man hurting another
I see a man willing to murder.
Makes me wonder.
Tell me why
Tell me why
I turned on the radio
I thought it would be easier.
I hear someone being rejected.
I hear someone being neglected.
Tell me why.
There's explosion, there's destruction
No redemption.
When I got to work
I heard more talk.
Let me tell you what they said
'Cos it went straight to my head.
They said:
Another race there's a famine
Another place people are dying
Another face someone is lying.
Tell me why
I wanna know, I wanna know
I wanna know now
I wanna know. Why?
There's a child looking for his mother
Will they ever find each other?
Strong winds, strong waves
Some say its the end of days.
Some pray, some way
One day there will be a change.
There will be a change.
Tell me why, tell me why
Are you living by the teaching?
Are you giving or receiving?
Tell me why, tell me why
Why should they die?
Why should they cry?
Why should you try?
Oh why?
Tell me why
Tell me why.
