Why? Lyrics

Father, it's time
Have a heart for your child who cries in pain
Not a new sign
But I strike that'll blow those fools away
Open your eyes
If you've got any you just look for too long a time
They spit on your name
Doin' everything you darnned as highest crime

They believe they could walk on the water
Playing 'god, sleep with the devils' daughter
Killed your son and might kill mine
But you don't mind

Why, Lord, why
Tell me why
In these lonely days
I'd need your answer
There's a reason why

How could you fail?
Still it's time, turn the black into the light
Why do you wait?
Do you look down and laugh at what you find?

Can't you see they are mistreating their daughters
They believe they could walk on the waters
They killed your son and might kill mine
But you don't mind

Why, Lord, why
Tell me why
In these lonely days
I'd need your answer
There's a reason why

Why, Lord, why
Tell me why
Your the only light
Forever lasting
Tell me, father, why

[SOLO]

Why, Lord, why
Tell me why
In these lonely days
I'd need your answer
There's a reason why

Why, Lord, why
Tell me why
Your the only light
Forever lasting
Tell me, father, why

Father, it's time
Father, it's time...
