Tell Me Why - 2007 Remaster

Mothers crying in the street
 Children dying at their feet, tell me why, ooh 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
 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 my 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, hurry for me, they cry, they cry...
