Mothers in the street Children at their feet me why, ooh, tell me why? People starvin' too much food But none to spare Tell me why, oh, tell me
Can you see shaft of sunlight? Can you see it in my I can the fire that's burnin' and hope so deep So deep within my But before my Oh, for some too late 'Cos it seems there's no one
People sleepin' in the No above, no food to eat Tell me why, me why? See the in their eyes Listen to their cries Tell me why, tell me why?
If there's a God, is He Can He a ray of hope? So much and so much sorrow Tell me, does he see When he at you When he at me? would he say? 'Cos it there's no one listenin'
Who would think it could happen Even in this time and Politicians, they may themselves Oh, but they save their face So hope against It's not too
You say there's you can do Is there one rule for and one for you? Tell me why, tell me why?
Listen, can you see shaft of sunlight? Can you see it in my I can feel the fire burnin' Anger and so deep So deep my heart But my eyes For some it's too And it seems no one listenin'
