Mothers in the street dyin' at their feet Tell me why, ooh, me why? People everywhere There's too food But there's to spare Tell me why, oh, me why?
Can you see that shaft of Can you see it in my I can the fire that's burnin' Anger and so deep So within my heart But my eyes Oh, for some too late 'Cos it seems no one listenin'
sleepin' in the streets No roof above, no to eat Tell me why, tell me See the questions in their to their children's 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, what he see he looks at you When he at me? would he say? 'Cos it seems there's no one
Who would think it could happen Even in time and place? Politicians, may save themselves Oh, but they won't save face So against hope not too late
You say nothing you can do Is one rule for them and one for you? Tell me why, just tell me
Listen, can you see that of sunlight? Can you see it in my I can feel the that's burnin' Anger and so deep So deep within my But my eyes For it's too late And it seems there's no one
Hurry for me, for me And hurry for me, for me, they cry, they cry Hurry for me, for me And hurry for me, hurry for me, they cry, cry Hurry for me, for me And hurry for me, for me, they cry, they cry hurry for me, hurry for me
