Harry Wilson Poet Lyric

I Just Wonder Why

I JUST WONDER WHY

             SENT TO A COUNTRY YOU DON'T KNOW
             TRYING TO UNDERSTAND A LANGUAGE, NOT UNDER YOUR CONTROL
             MEETING PEOPLE WHO ALL LOOK THE SAME
             WONDERING WHO ARE MY FRIENDS OR ENIMIES
             I JUST WONDER WHY


             A FEW MONTHS HAVE PASSED YOU BY
             YOU WATCH GROWN MEN, AGONIZE, CRY AND DIE
             YET IN YOUR HEART YOU KNOW YOU TRIED
             HOLDING ON TO WHAT YOU HAVE TO SURVIVE
             I JUST WONDER WHY

             YOUR TIME HAS COME AND YOUR GOING HOME
             THE FEELING INSIDE IS SO BEING ALL ALONE
             WHAT WILL I DO WHEN I ARRIVE
             HOLD MY HEAD AND THANK GOD I'M ALIVE
             I JUST WONDER WHY

             NOW THAT I AM HOME IN THE WORLD
             I THINK OF THE TORMENT IN MY MIND
             THE CRYING VOICES OR THE PICTURES OF WAR
             WOW I WONDER HOW MUCH MORE
             I JUST WONDER WHY

             MY LIFE FIFTY YEARS LATER STILL FEELS THE PAIN
             THE TIME OVERSEA'S, THAT I LOST IN MY LIFE
             COMING BACK TO A COUNTRY, WITH SO MUCH CHANGE
             I WONDER WHO IS AT FAULT, OR TO BLAME
             I HOLD MY HEAD UP HIGH, CAUSE I DONE MY JOB
             YET SOCIETY DON'T ACCEPT ME YET
             I JUST WONDER WHY
