Mothers in the street dyin' at their feet Tell me why, ooh, me why? People starvin' There's too food But none to spare me why, oh, tell me why?
Can you see shaft of sunlight? Can you see it in my I can feel the fire that's Anger and hope so So deep my heart But my eyes Oh, for some too late 'Cos it seems no one listenin'
sleepin' in the streets No above, no food to eat Tell me why, me why? See the in their eyes Listen to their cries Tell me why, please tell me
If a God, is He watchin'? Can He a ray of hope? So much pain and so sorrow Tell me, does he see When he at you he looks at me? What he say? 'Cos it there's no one listenin'
Who think it still could happen Even in this and place? Politicians, they may themselves Oh, but they save their face So hope against not too late
You say nothing you can do Is there one rule for and one for you? Tell me why, tell me why?
Listen, can you see that of sunlight? Can you see it in my I can the fire that's burnin' and hope so deep So within my heart But before my For it's too late And it seems there's no one
for me, hurry 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 for me, hurry for me And for me, hurry for me, they cry, they cry Just hurry for me, for me
