Lyrics

I'm sitting here reading the book of life
Constantly asking myself why
Why do babies have to die
And a mother, oh no, gives up her pride
Can you see the man on the street
Who doesn't even have enough to eat
Tell me when you're walking by
Can you see the tears in his eyes
Somebody please tell me why
Why, why does this world seem so cold
Just like a rich man that won't give a pot of gold, oh no
Why, before my life come to an end
Let's try to make amends and let's give it a chance
Oh tell me why, tell me why
Tell me why, tell me why
Baby don't know her father's name
The mother's confused just the same
She's saying that it's alright
But she need a father in her life
Somebody please tell me why
And just like the sand on the beach
And just like the ocean runs so deep
We all must take a part and dig deep in our hearts
But I don't know where to start
Someone tell me why
Why, why does this world seem so cold
Just like a rich man that won't give a pot of gold, oh no
Why, before my life come to an end
Let's try to make amends and let's give it a chance
Oh tell me why, tell me why
Tell me why, tell me why
Why do things go the way they do
Everybody, I'm asking you
Can we turn around, turn around
Turn around, turn around
Things don't have to be this way
Looking for a better day
Can we turn around, turn around
Turn around, turn around
Why do things go the way they do
Everybody, I'm asking you
Can we turn around, turn around
Turn around, turn around
Things don't have to be this way
Looking for a better day
Can we turn around, turn around
Turn around, turn around
Why do things go the way they do
Everybody, I'm asking you
Can we turn around, turn around
Turn around, turn around
