Song lyrics

Mothers crying in the street,
Children dying at their feet,
Tell me why, tell me why
People starving everywhere,
There's too much food
But none to spare,
tell me why, 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,
Before my eyes,
For some it's too late,
It seems there's no one listening

People sleeping in the streets,
No roof above, no food to eat,
Tell me why, tell me why
See the questions in their eyes,
Listen to their children's cries,
Tell me why, tell me why

If there's a God, is he watching?
Can he give a ray of hope?
So much pain, so much sorrow,
Tell me what does he see
When he looks at you,
When he looks at me?
What would he say?
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
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,
Before my eyes,
For some it's too late,
It seems there's no one listening

Hurry for me, hurry for me,
They cry
