Children dying at their feet
Tell me why, oh tell me why
People starving everywhere
but there's none to spare
Tell me why, oh tell me why
Can you see that shaft of sunlight?
Can you see it in my eyes?
I can feel the fire that's burning
I'm going to hold so deep,
Or for some it's too late
People sleeping in the streets,
no roof above, no food to eat
Tell me why, oh tell me why
I see the questions in their eyes,
listen to their children's cries
Tell me why, please tell me why
If there's a God, is he watching?
Can he give a ray of hope?
So much pain, so much sorrow
When he looks at me, what would he say?
Oh, we think it still could happen
Even in this time and place
Politicians, they may save themselves
But they won't save their face
You said there's nothing you can do
So one rule for them and one for you
Can you see it in my eyes?
I can feel that fire that's burning
And it seems there's no one listening
Hurry for me, hurry for me
Hurry for me, hurry for me
Day and night, day and night
Hurry for me, hurry for me
Hurry for me, hurry for me
Day and night, day and night
Hurry for me, hurry for me
Just hurry for me, hurry for me
Hurry for me, hurry for me
