In the night, there's a candle burning Little light full of ache and yearning For the child who won't be returning And all the loved ones left behind
Morning breaks with the news of violence Nothing moves in the haze of silence Deep inside it feels like a riot Oh, where can I find peace of mind?
(And they say that our trouble's just begun) Tell me how (Tell me how much we'll lose before we've won) These tears won't dry
So I'm asking Why? (Why?) Why? Will we ever find the answer? Why? (Why?) Why? Why can't love be all that matters? Why? (Why?) Why? While we try to understand Faith and hope are slipping through our hands Can you tell me why?
What's the secret to make things better? Where's the thread holding us together? How do we find the key that lets us Open up our hearts and minds?
Winds of faith blow us past our limits Spend our lives searching for forgiveness Can one voice really make a difference? Still I know we've got to try
(And they say that our trouble's just begun) Tell me how (Tell me how much we'll lose before we've won) These tears won't dry
So I'm asking Why? (Why?) Why? Will we ever find the answer? Why? (Why?) Why? Why can't love be all that matters? Why? (Why?) Why? While we try to understand That faith and hope are slipping through our hands (Tell me why)
Tears are falling down like rain A flood of questions come It is getting hard to wait Is really love so hard to find?
So I'm asking (Why?) Why...? Will we ever find the answer? Why? (Why?) Why? (Why?) Why can't love be all that matters? Why? (Why?) Why? While we pray to understand Faith and hope are slipping through our hands Tell me why
