Why
Why is upside turning down
Why are all these people runnin' round
Why are nations in a rage
And selfish dictators on the stage
Why is this planet hungry for war
Who has the right to shut the door
On the poverty-stricken child I see
Why can't we help them you and me
Why does the media glorify
All the bad news, turn a blind eye
To the good unselfish things people do
You're asking me, I'm asking you
W.H.Y. Why don't we
Lift our brother in humanity
W.H.Y. Can't we be
Loving more - living free
Why are we rushing so fast
To things we know that just can't last
Why are we slipping into debt
For things we can't pay
And leave us with regret
Why oh why do we ask and cry
Here in the streets and in our minds
Where do all the answers lie
It's in you and me, we have to try
Why is all around the city
It's in the country now, isn't it a pity
But still we ask what we can do
The answer lives in me and you
W.H.Y. Why don't we
Lift our brother in humanity
W.H.Y. Can't we be
Loving more - living free
Why oh why do we ask and cry
Here in the streets and in our minds
Where do the answers lie
It's you and me, we have to try
Why - is all around the city
Why - it's all around the country
The answer lives in me and you
W.H.Y. Why don't we
Lift our brother in humanity
W.H.Y. Can't we be
Loving more - living free
W.H.Y. Why don't we
Lift our brother in humanity
W.H.Y. Can't we be
Loving more - living free
Why are all these people runnin' round
Why are nations in a rage
And selfish dictators on the stage
Why is this planet hungry for war
Who has the right to shut the door
On the poverty-stricken child I see
Why can't we help them you and me
Why does the media glorify
All the bad news, turn a blind eye
To the good unselfish things people do
You're asking me, I'm asking you
W.H.Y. Why don't we
Lift our brother in humanity
W.H.Y. Can't we be
Loving more - living free
Why are we rushing so fast
To things we know that just can't last
Why are we slipping into debt
For things we can't pay
And leave us with regret
Why oh why do we ask and cry
Here in the streets and in our minds
Where do all the answers lie
It's in you and me, we have to try
Why is all around the city
It's in the country now, isn't it a pity
But still we ask what we can do
The answer lives in me and you
W.H.Y. Why don't we
Lift our brother in humanity
W.H.Y. Can't we be
Loving more - living free
Why oh why do we ask and cry
Here in the streets and in our minds
Where do the answers lie
It's you and me, we have to try
Why - is all around the city
Why - it's all around the country
The answer lives in me and you
W.H.Y. Why don't we
Lift our brother in humanity
W.H.Y. Can't we be
Loving more - living free
W.H.Y. Why don't we
Lift our brother in humanity
W.H.Y. Can't we be
Loving more - living free
