James Edward Lee Sr. Poet Lyric

Why

Why do all the bird cry
Why do all the children die
Why O why
Why O why
why, why, why
Why do mankind hate so
Where do all the animals in the winter go
And when they die
Why O why
Why O why
why, why, why, why, why
When will I know the answers to those things that I must ask of
why must I know the things that are not so
Why mu I even bother, does it matter 
Why do all the bird cry
Why do all the children die
Why O why
Why O why
why, why, why, why, why
Why do all raindrops fall
Why do all the trees grow so tall
and why must my grand pa go bye, bye, by
Can someone tell me WHY
Where do all the mushrooms grow
Why doen't it snow in Brazil
Why do all the children die
Why O why
Why O why
why, why, why, why, why
When will I know the answers to those things that I must master
Why do all the birds cry
Where do animals go when they die
Where do all the people hide
When will Christ come and relieve me
Why do people yet mistreat me
Why do all the children die
Why O why
Why O why
why, why, why, why, why
