Mothers crying in the street, children dying at their feet
Tell me why, oh, tell me why
People starving everywhere, there's too much food but there's none to spare
Tell me why, oh, tell me why
Can you see that shaft of sunlight? Can you see it in my eyes?
I can feel the fire that's burning, anger and hope so deep
So deep within my heart but before my eyes
Oh, for some it's too late 'cause it seems there's no-one listening
People sleeping in the streets, no roof above, no food to eat
Tell me why, oh, tell me why
See the questions in their eyes, listen to their children's cries
Tell me why, please tell me why
If there's a God, is He watching? Can he give a ray of light?
So much pain and so much sorrow, tell me what does He see
When He looks at you? When He looks at me?
What would He say? It seems there's no-one listening
Who would think it still could happen even in this time and place?
Politicians, they may save themselves
Ah, but they won't save their face
So hope against hope, it's not too late
You say there's nothing you can do
Is there one rule for them and one for you?
Tell me why, just tell me why
Listen, can you see that shaft of sunlight? Can you see it in my eyes?
I can feel the fire that's burning, anger and hope so deep
So deep within my heart but before my eyes
Oh, for some it's too late 'cause it seems there's no-one listening
"Hurry for me, hurry for me and hurry for me, hurry for me", they cry, they cry
"Hurry for me, hurry for me and hurry for me, hurry for me", they cry, they cry
"Hurry for me, hurry for me and hurry for me, hurry for me", they cry, they cry
"Hurry for me, hurry for me"
