Why

Free
 as a bird
 Lennon said
 was the next best thing to be
 ♪
 Then why?
 Why don't we fly
 off to see the world?
 Discover new philosophies?
 Why
 does the world
 keep turning?
 Burning?
 Why
 does our hearts
 keep yearning
 and churning?
 Fill emptiness
 with dreams
 Let's re-invest
 and redeem our self-esteem
 This craziness
 inside us all
 must be contained
 re-arranged
 Or this will be our curtain call
 No, no, no
 Why
 does the world
 keep turning?
 Burning?
 And why
 does our hearts
 keep yearning
 and churning?

 Birds in flight have been misled (why?)
 The children starving in their beds (why?)
 The poisoned fish and rivers red (why?)
 The tankers polluting the sea bed (why?)
 Reptilian thinking in my head (why?)
 Can we make some sense of this? (why?)
 Find a brand new genesis (why?)
 with dancing rhythms (why?)
 In my head
 In my, in my head

 Why don't we listen to the people of the sun?
