Tell Me Why

La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la

La, la, la, la, la, la, la

La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la

La, la, la, la, la, la, la

Deep inside a mother's womb, a miracle is born

As a baby, human being is artistically formed

Though its tiny hands and feet can't wait to go outside and play

If the child is inconvenient, we'll just make it go away

La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la

La, la, la, la, la, la, la

La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la

La, la, la, la, la, la, la

Though the problem seems disposable, the evil still persists

When the rights we claim to choose limit, their freedom to exist

Politicians and the lobbyists try to philosophize

But somehow the words ring hollow as another child dies

Tell me why do the little babies cry

Could it be 'cause they fear for their lives

Tell me how can the little children play

When all hope for their lives is torn away

Tell me why

La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la

La, la, la, la, la, la, la

La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la

La, la, la, la, la, la, la

Where have all the children gone?

Where is our innocence?

For we sacrificed it long ago for the rights to selfishness

But our conscience and our pride will pay a regretful to the price

When we answer to our children for the crime of genocide

Tell me why do the little babies cry

Could it be 'cause they fear for their lives

Tell me how can the little children play

When all hope for their lives is torn away

Tell me why do the little babies cry

Could it be 'cause they fear for their lives

Tell me how can the little children play

When all hope for their lives is torn away

Tell me why

La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la

La, la, la, la, la, la, la

La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la

La, la, la, la, la, la, la

(Tell me why) la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la

La, la, la, la, la, la, la

(Whoa, tell me why) la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la

La, la, la, la, la, la, la
