Karaoké Tell Me Why Genesis

Mothers crying in the street

Children dying at their feet

Tell me why

Oh tell me why

People starving everywhere

There's too much food but there's none to spare

Tell me why

Oh tell me why

Can you see that shaft of sunlight

Can you see it in my eyes

I can feel the fire that's burning

Anger and hope so deep

So deep within my heart

But before my eyes

Well for some it's too late 'cos it seems there's no-one listening

People sleeping in the streets

No roof above

No food to eat

Tell me why

Oh tell me why

See the questions in their eyes

Listen to their children's cries

Tell me why

Please tell me why

If there's a God is he watching

Can he give a ray of hope

So much pain and so much sorrow

Tell me what does he see when he looks at you

When he looks at me

What would he say

'Cos it seems there's no-one listening

Who would think it still could happen

Even in this time and place

Politicians

They may save themselves

Ah but they won't save their face

So hope against hope

It's not too late

You say there's nothing you can do

Is there one rule for them and one for you

Tell me why

Just tell me why

Listen

Can you see that shaft of sunlight

Can you see it in my eyes

I can feel the fire that's burning

Anger and hope so deep

So deep within my heart

But before my eyes

For some it's too late

And it seems there's no-one listening

Hurry for me

Hurry for me

Hurry for me

They cry

They cry

Oh hurry for me

Hurry for me

Hurry for me

Hurry for me

They cry

They cry

Hurry for me

Hurry for me

Hurry for me

Hurry for me

They cry

They cry
