Genesis - Tell Me Why Lyrics
Mothers crying in the streetChildren dying at their feet, tell me why, ooh tell me whyPeople starving everywhereTheres too much food but theres none to spare,Tell me why, oh tell me whyCan you see that shaft of sunlightCan you see it in my eyesI can feel the fire thats burningAnger and hope so deepSo deep within my heart but before my eyesFor some its too lateCos it seems theres no-one listeningPeople sleeping in the streetsNo roof above, no food to eat, tell me why, oh tell me whySee the questions in their eyesListen to their childrens cries,Tell me why, please tell me whyIf theres a god, is he watchingCan he give a ray of hopeSo much pain and so much sorrowTell me what does he seeWhen he looks at youWhen he looks at meWhat would he sayCos it seems theres no-one listeningWho would think it still could happenEven in this time and placePoliticians, they may save themselvesAh but they wont save their faceSo hope against hope its not too lateYou say theres nothing you can doIs there one rule for them and one for you,Tell me why, just tell my whyListen can you see that shaft of sunlightCan you see it in my eyesI can feel the fire thats burningAnger and hope so deepSo deep within my heart but before my eyesFor some its too lateAnd it seems theres no-one listeningHurry for me, hurry for meHurry for me, hurry for me, they cry, they cry...
