Why do we have to say good-bye?
Why does everyone have to be *******?
Why do we live in a society that says this is ok?
Tell me why, because I really want to know.

Tell me why this world is so cruel,
why people no longer say hi with a smile,
why children have to grow up without parents,
why people have to go without homes.

Tell me why kids have no food,
why the rich are so greedy,
yet the poor are so generous,
why the world just passes by.

Why do we never stop to think of others?
Why do we laugh at another's expense,
but quick to anger when it's us who is laughed at.
Tell me why, because I would like to know.

Why is this earth so messed up?
Why do fathers abandoned their family?
Why do mothers cry?
Why do children have to pay?

Why does love have to hurt?
Why does pain feel so good?
Why does helping seem so hard for people?
Why does anyone do anything?

Why?
