Why

Avant

I'm sitting here reading the book of life
Constantly asking myself why
Why do babies have to die?
And a mother, oh, no, gives up a price
Can you see the man on the streets?
Who doesn't even have enough to eat (no, no, no)
And tell me when you're walking by (walking by)
Can you see the tears in his eyes?
Somebody please tell me why (why…)

Why (why) why does this world seem so cold? 
(World seem so cold)
Just like a rich man
That won't give a pot a gold, oh, no
Why (why) before my life come to an end
Let's try to make amends
And let's give it a chance
Oh, tell me why (why…) tell me why
Tell me why, tell me why (why…)

Baby, don't know her father's name
The mother's confused just the same
She's saying that it's alright
But she need a father in her life
Somebody please tell me why (why…)
And just like the sand on the beach
And just like the ocean runs so deep (oh, so deep)
We all must take our part
And dig deep in our heart
But I don't know where to start
Someone tell me…

Why (why) why does this world seem so cold? 
(World seem so cold)
Just like a rich man
That won't give a pot a gold, oh, no
Why (why) before my life come to an end
Let's try to make amends
And let's give it a chance
Oh, tell me why (why…) tell me why (tell me why)
Tell me why, oh, tell me why (tell me why)
Tell me why (ooh) tell me why (tell me why)
Tell me why, tell me why (tell me why)
I gotta know tell me why

Why do things go the way they do (oh, yeah)
Everybody I'm asking you (can we)
Can we turn around (turn around) 
Turn around (turn around)
Turn around (yeah, yeah, oh, yeah)
Things don't have to be this way (mmm, mmm)
Looking for a better day (looking for a better day)
Can we turn around (turn around)
Turn around (yeah, oh) turn around
