lyrics

Pounding the streets, searching for a revelation;
searching my heart, to figure out what went wrong.
Was it just a breakdown in communication?
Or was our love never really all that strong?

Why did you go away,
just as your love was bringing me to life?
Why did I not know until today
that all I was giving you was trouble and strife?
I ask you why…

Turn on the news, there’s rockets going into Israel;
while over in Gaza, they’re levelling the score.
There’s rumours of peace,
but nothing seems to be changing
It’s hard to hear anything over the clamour of war.

Why does it go around and around?
Cycles of violence are headlines every day.
Why can a way not be found
to welcome the foreigner,
the one who lives another way?
I ask you why…

Why does it drive us apart,
sadness and suffering, heartache and greed?
Why can we not find it in our hearts
to struggle for unity, focussed on each other’s need?
I ask you why…
Why?
