AVANT LYRICS - Why

"Why"



I'm sitting here reading the book of life

constantly asking myself why

why do babies have to die

and a mother gives up a price

can you see the man on the streets

doesn't even have enough to eat

and tell me when your walking by

can you see the tears in his eye

somebody please tell me why



why

why does this world seem so cold

just like a rich man who won't give a pot a gold

why

before my life comes to an end let's try to make amends and let's give it a chance

tell me why [4x]



Baby don't know her fathers name

mother's confused just the same

she's saying that it's alright

but she needs a father in her life

somebody please tell me why

just like the sand on the beach

just like the ocean runs 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

just like a rich man who won't give a pot of gold

oh no, why, why before my life comes to an end

let's try to make amends and let's give it a chance

oh tell me why [10x]



why do things go the way they do

everybody I'm asking you can we

turn around, turn around, turn around

Things don't have to be this way

I'm looking for a better day can we

turn around, turn around, turn around [4x]
