Lyrics
Wonder Why
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Some say the right words, some say it's absurd
To think that children can brutally die
I say it's easy, so very easy
And all we do is wonder why
In spite of progress. you say we're making
In spite of wisdom. stretching afar
We find solutions, always solutions
But none to mend a broken heart
Can't be in two places at one time
I can't even stretch my legs
Without someone pointing a finger at me
Saying you'd better stop or else
You are the kingdom. you are the glory
No doubt without you I just couldn't survive
And yet It happens, oh when It happens
What do we do. we wonder why
Can't be In two places at one time
I can't even stretch my legs
Without someone pointing a finger at me
Saying you're too big for yourself
Some say the right words. some say it's absurd
To think that children. without food can die
I say It's easy. so very easy
And all we do is wonder why
