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.
Didn’t want to be a soldier
But I had to change
Didn’t want to be a fighter
But there’s no other way
All of this confusion and destruction
Done in my name
Little child don’t cry
Cause we’re struggling for when you come of age
Now am I living hopeless?
No one sees my face
On the fiction’s what we’re choking
Feeling it’s just all too late
All of the kings we’ve seen are long gone
It’s true when they say the good die young
Where are all the warriors that were once strong?
They’re just blowing in the wind
Why every time I rise within
All I seem to be is weaker
And every time my light goes dim
I’m falling deeper and deeper and deeper
Why every time I rise within
All I seem to be is weaker
And every time my light goes dim
I’m falling deeper and deeper and deeper
Mama don’t you cry for me
I’ll be gone for a while
And I know this ain’t the vision
That you had for your child
Think about the children depending on me
They need someone to fight
So many soldiers should be fighting but they are lost in the night
Just a soul and a dream gone pon in the battlefield
Mama start worry and fret
Over her son ago dweet wid just a sword and a shield
Fi go step in babylon’s face
I have so much hate for my enemy
My enemy is the man that I’ve never seen
But this hatred that I’m carrying
Taking so much of my energy
Why every time I rise within
All I seem to be is weaker
And every time my light goes dim
I’m falling deeper and deeper and deeper
Why every time I rise within
All I seem to be is weaker
And every time my light goes dim
I’m falling deeper and deeper and deeper
Our strength is deep inside within
Misled thinking the opposite
And our history’s replayed again
Uneducated, been so degraded
And this ain’t how we’re supposed to live
There’s nothing here but want and fear
When my light is low and I don’t know
All I can do is try
And ask myself
Why every time I rise within
All I seem to be is weaker
And every time my light goes dim
I’m falling deeper and deeper and deeper
Why every time I rise within
All I seem to be is weaker
And every time my light goes dim
I’m falling deeper and deeper and deeper
