turn on the news today

what else do i see

something going on some where else

it means the world to me



shots going off

right on my tv

and i can't help myslef

to think this could be me



why do we have to fight

why do we have to cry

sacrafice our lives

to proove we have the rights

then sleep these lonely nights



why does it have to hurt

to many in desperse

why do we have to lose

there's nothing left to proove

where there's a will there's a way



walking down the road today

a lady came up to me

asking where her child had gone

it's so hard to believe



one minute you're there

the next minute you're gone

what's going on

and i can't help myself to think where we went wrong



why do we have to fight

why do we have to cry

sacrafice our lives

to proove we have the rights

then sleep these lonely nights



why does it have to hurt

to many in desperse

why do we have to lose

there's nothing left to proove

where there's a will there's a way
