Lyrics : Why

In the night, there's a candle burning
Little light full of ache and yearning
For the child who won't be returning
And all the loved ones left behind

Morning breaks with the news of violence
Nothing moves in the haze of silence
Deep inside it feels like a riot
Oh, where can I find peace of mind?

And they say that our trouble's just begun
Tell me how much we'll lose before we've won.
These tears won't dry

So I'm asking
Why? Why?
Will we ever find the answers
Why? Why?
Why can't love be all that matters
Why? Why?
While we try to understand
Faith and hope are slipping through our hands
Can you tell me why?

What's the secret to make things better
Where's the thread holding us together
How do we find the key that lets us
Open up our hearts and minds

Winds of faith blow us past our limits
Spend our lives searching for forgiveness
Can one voice really make a difference
Still I know we've got to try

And they say that our trouble's just begun
Tell me how much we'll lose before we've won
These tears won't dry

So I'm asking...

Tears are falling down like rain
A flood of questions come
Where's the healing for this pain
Is really love so hard to find

I'm still asking
Why? Why?
Will we ever find the answers
Why? Why?
Why can't love be all that matters
Why? Why?
While we pray to understand
Faith and hope are slipping through our hands
Tell me why
