Tell Me Why
Tell me why
Everyone got a question
Called why
W/why must life be so
H/hard when we are given
Enough from nature
Y/yet we cry
Tell me why
Everyone got a question
Called why
W/why must a baby be
Born just to die of starvation
H/how come surplus food
Out there in places are now
A scarcity
Y/yet our rich waste been
Still can feed the poor
Tell me why
Everyone got a question
Called why
W/why do we exist
H/here on earth
Y/your existence is not
Sudden even if you are poor
Tell me why
Everyone got a question
Called why
W/why can't the world
H/here the voice of nature
Y/your life can be with out nature
So respect the gift of life
Tell me why
Everyone got a question
Called why
W/why this why that
H/have this have that
Y/yet at the end
We leave life empty
And go away with nothing
