In the night there's a candle burning
Little light full of ache and yearning
For the child who won't be returning
And all the loved ones left behind
Morning breaks with the news of violence
Nothing moves in the haze of silence
Deep inside it feels like a riot
Oh, where can I find peace of mind
[Chorus 1:]
And they say that our trouble's just begun
Tell me how
Tell me how much we'll lose before we've won
These tears won't dry
[Chorus 2:]
So I'm asking
Why why why
Will we ever find the answer
Why why why?
Why can't love be all that matters
Why why why
While we try to understand
Faith and hope are slipping through our hands
Can you tell me why
What's the secret to make things better
Where's the thread holding us together
How do we find the key that lets us
Open up our hearts and minds
Winds of faith blow us past our limits
Spend our lives searching for forgiveness
Can one voice really make a difference
Still I know we've got to try
[Chorus 1]
[Chorus 2]
Tell me why
Tears are falling down like rain
A flood of questions come
It is getting hard to wait
Is really love so hard to find?
[Chorus 2]
