Why?
Verse 1 Mama worked three jobs, never saw her kids, Daddy left town, never knew what he did, Growing up fast, man, I had to be grown, Life’s a battlefield, I was all alone. Why we gotta struggle, why we gotta fight, Why the darkness takes over every single night? Why the good die young, why the pain so real? Why the world’s so cold, why we can’t just heal? Chorus Why we always asking why? Why we living just to die? Why the tears in our eyes? Why the truth feel like lies? Verse 2 Preacher man told me, “Son, just keep the faith,” But it’s hard to believe when you’re in this place, Empty bottles, shattered dreams on the floor, Praying for peace, but there’s always more war. Why the rich get richer, why the poor stay poor? Why we fighting battles, what we fighting for? Why the hate in the streets, why the love’s so rare? Why we living in a world where nobody cares? Chorus Why we always asking why? Why we living just to die? Why the tears in our eyes? Why the truth feel like lies? Bridge I look up to the heavens, searching for a sign, Asking for a reason, trying to find the line, Between the light and the dark, the truth and the lie, Praying for an answer, Lord, just tell me why. Verse 3 Sister’s on the corner, brother’s locked away, Trying to make a dollar, but we losing every day, Grandma’s prayers echo in my head, “Keep your head up high, boy, don’t you ever beg.” Why the dreams so distant, why the hope seems gone? Why we marching to the beat of a broken song? Why the chains so tight, why the night so long? Why we searching for a place where we belong? Chorus Why we always asking why? Why we living just to die? Why the tears in our eyes? Why the truth feel like lies?
