Why
is upside turning down / Why are all these people runnin' round / Why are nations
in a rage / And selfish dictators on the stage / Why is this planet hungry for
war / Who has the right to shut the door / On the poverty-stricken child I see
/ Why can't we help them you and me / Why does the media glorify / All the bad
news / turn a blind eye / To the good unselfish things people do / You're asking
me / I'm asking you //
Chorus:
W.H.Y.
Why don't we / Lift our brother in humanity / W.H.Y. Can't we be / Loving more
- living free. //
Why are we rushing
so fast / To things we know that just can't last / Why are we slipping into debt
/ For things we can't pay / And leave us with regret / Why oh why do do we ask
and cry / Here in the streets and in our minds / Where do all the answers lie
/ It's in you and me, we have to try / Why is all around the city / It's in the
country now, isn't it a pity / But still we ask what we can do / The answer lives
in me and you. //
Chorus:
W.H.Y. Why
don't we / Lift our brother in humanity / W.H.Y. Can't we be / Loving more - living
free //
Why oh why do do we ask and
cry / Here in the streets and in our minds / Where do all the answers lie / It's
in you and me, we have to try. //
Tag:
Why-is all around the city / Why-is all around the country / The answer lives
in me and you //
Chorus:
W.H.Y. Why
don't we / Lift our brother in humanity / W.H.Y. Can't we be / Loving more - living
free. //
