Days go by and I know there must be a God lookin down from the sky, yet I still ask why?
Why does the grass continue to grow and the sun agree to rise when all that was once good in this land decided to die.
Hunger and corruption, racism and war, go on once more as the government and powerful few, wipe there brow and count there bills with pride as if we never knew.
Life isn't fair, unless it's in love and war, but that'r rather contradicting if you stop and think, because we all know these two things lead to pain.
See, we all ignore the call we once awoke every day to proclaim, now we turn our back on a high and mighty spirit in the sky as if in shame.
One day we'll see it all fall and put the wonder to the side as we knew this was all that mattered, after all.
We had pastors and prophets, poets and folk lords, all telling us as if they were Bob Dylan that the Times-are-a-changin', yet we were too blind to see the need. We all had them tell us it was surely true, yet we all came together as one for just an instant, and for the reason to sing a song we continue to sing as we cast these wise few aways.
Days, they continue to go by, and I cast my why's aside and watch my brothers and sisters look up to the sky, and turn to one another, asking why?
