Lyrics

See the bloody faces lifted to the sky Do you want to run to a future left behind? I remember asking why, there lies aggression. Separation where there should be love Power plays while the people die Let it rain and protect us from this cruel sun Let it rain and protect us from this cruel sun I remember asking why, there lies aggression Separation where there should be love Power plays while the people die I remember asking why, I remember asking why I remember asking why, I remember asking why, why. Open up your eyes, your eyes and let the child learn. Open up your eyes, and let the child learn Let it rain, and protect us from this cruel sun Let it rain, and protect us from this cruel sun Why does war kill only the small man? Why does war kill only the small man? I think we know, yes, we know I think we know, know, know I remember asking why. I remember asking why. I remember asking why. Let it rain, and protect us from this cruel sun Let it rain, and protect us from this cruel sun Let it rain, and protect us from this cruel sun Let it rain, and protect us from this cruel sun (C) 2002 Island Def Jam Music Group
