WHY?

Tracy Chapman





Why do the babies starve

When there's enough food to feed the world

Why when there're so many of us

Are there people still alone



Why are the missiles called peace keepers

When they're aimed to kill

Why is a woman still not safe

When she's in her home



Love is hate

War is peace

No is yes

And we're all free



But somebody's gonna have to answer

The time is coming soon

Admidst all these questions and contradictions

There're some who seek the truth



But somebody's gonna have to answer

The time is coming soon

When the blind remove their blinders

And the speechless speak the truth
