A Few Questions

How in this world can we put a man on the moon
And still have a need for a place like St Jude's?
And why is one man born
In a place where all they know is war?
And a guy like me has always been free

And how can two people who built a loving home
Try for years an' never have a child of their own?
When somewhere out there tonight
There's a baby no-one's holding tight
In need of love to me, that don't add up

But I wasn't there the day you filled up the oceans
I didn't get to see you hang the stars in the sky
So, I don't mean to second guess you
Or criticize what I don't understand
And these are just a few questions I have

And why did my cousin have to die in that crash?
A good kid, only seventeen, I still wonder 'bout that
It seems unfair to me
Some get the chance to chase their dreams
And some don't but what do I know?

I wasn't there the day you filled up the oceans
I didn't get to see you hang the stars in the sky
So, I don't mean to second guess you
Or criticize what I don't understand
And these are just a few questions I have

Why do I feel like you hear these prayers of mine
When so many oughta be ahead of me in line?
When you look down on me
Can you see the good through all the bad?
And these just a few questions I have
