Why

Remember Nancy she was raising little baby girls Working hard, had a job in the straight world We would laugh, have a smoke in the front room While the kids sat around watching cartoons One day, the kids they were at school Ex-man came around actin' like a fool Shut him out 'cause he didn't live there anymore So he shot her with a bullet through the front door Chorus: If it's all up to fate, should I sit back and wait Or pretend I don't care If one day you're not there How can I understand That it's out of my hands And with tears in my eyes I can only ask why Remember when the metal fell burning through the air Flying back from the final frontier Everyone back home waiting on the ground Watching pieces of it all come falling down Thinking back on the moment when they said goodbye Trying to be brave, trying hard not to cry When they smiled 'fore they flew into space again No even through they'd never see their face again Chorus Burning flames falling down from the sky Who's to blame what's the reason why Sometimes when I'm down and I'm feeling low I sit and think about the people that I used to know I keep wondering if there really is a master plan They say there's nothing I can do 'cause I'm just a man Chorus
