Why Me? - 2014 Remastered
These are dangerous times that we're livin' in.
And these are dangerous signs that we're givin' in to fear.
Late one night, I'm lyin' here.
I thought I heard a sound.
Tell the mothers and the babes.
Tell the old, tell the sick, they will be safe.
Get the young males, tell them to be brave.
I was so concerned with saving life.
I never saw you pull the knife.
High on the mountains.
Across the seven seas.
All of the people,
Why me, why me?
Do you feel so frustrated?
Frigtened and feared.
Answer my question,
Why me, why me, why me?
Why me, why me, why me?
You're such an angry young man.
With all your grievances.
People don't understand.
They just can't understand.
What you must do to stay alive.
So you try to justify,
All the violence and hate, before your eyes.
Through the ages, better men than you have tried.
To give what is not theirs to give.
To take the land where others live.
High on the mountains.
Across the seven seas.
All of the people,
Why me, why me?
Do you feel so frustrated?
Frightened and feared.
Answer my question,
Why here, why now, why here, why now, why me?
Oh, for now you have the power.
The guns and all the swords.
But nature has a nasty habit,
Of balancing her flaws.
Now, you may try to break my body.
Lock me up an throw away the key.
But you'll never, never break my spirit.
I'm Free!
