Why
I have wondered far to long
why do things we know is wrong
Like when we see somebody cry
why we don't stop and ask them why
Some one may need us today
we can't just turn and walk away
we have to stop and lend a hand
and try to help them understand
That life will not always be fair
let them know that we'll be there
and other things that bother me
things that we should never see
To hit a child without a cause
the parent just has to pause
and try to find some other way
to work their anger out that day
And some folks seem to be amused
to watch an animal being abused
Hearts will break and tears will fall
Please let us try to help them all
