Phil Keaggy - Why lyrics

Why is upside turning down Why are all these people runnin' round Why are nations in a rage And selfish dictators on the stage Why is this planet hungry for war Who has the right to shut the door On the poverty-stricken child I see Why can't we help them you and me Why does the media glorify All the bad news, turn a blind eye To the good unselfish things people do You're asking me, I'm asking you W.H.Y. Why don't we Lift our brother in humanity W.H.Y. Can't we be Loving more - living free Why are we rushing so fast To things we know that just can't last Why are we slipping into debt For things we can't pay And leave us with regret Why oh why do do we ask and cry Here in the streets and in our minds Where do all the answers lie It's in you and me, we have to try Why is all around the city It's in the country now, isn't it a pity But still we ask what we can do The answer lives in me and you W.H.Y. Why don't we Lift our brother in humanity W.H.Y. Can't we be Loving more - living free Why oh why do do we ask and cry Here in the streets and in our minds Where do the answers lie It's in you and me, we have to try Why - is all around the city Why - is all around the country The answer lives in me and you W.H.Y. Why don't we Lift our brother in humanity W.H.Y. Can't we be Loving more - living free
