America, Why? Lyrics

A little girl trapped in a well, the world watches breath by breath
We wait to hear the newsman tell, she's rescued from the jaws of death
A young boy snatched away and raped, an innocent life is scarred
The man is caught, the child escaped; we wonder whose heart is so hard

America's young, America's mirth, America's now, America's then
Our backs are turned before their birth; America – why do you kill the children?
A twisted mind, a building explodes; the death count comes one by one
Our hopes removed with the rubble load; they were kids just having fun
Oklahoma, the boy, the little girl, all drew our heartstrings as one
The unborn child snuggled up in a curl, is somebody's daughter or son
