Why? Lyrics by Alan King (USA)

I Saw the Rain

0

I just heard the news
Is this a nightmare?
My friend can't really be gone
I can still see him there
I don't understand
Who would do such a thing
The report only said he's been shot in the head
No more details, offering

Why?
Why?
I need to know why

The morning paper shed light on the facts
As the truth stopped me cold, cold in my tracks
Tears filled my eyes with hurt and lies
My heart fury and rage
As the words, words self-inflicted
Jumped off the page

Why?
Tell me why
Why?
I need to know why
[?]
Please tell me why

How dare he make such a choice
Leaving loved ones behind, emotions unvoiced
Somehow the painful truth must be faced
Are we to blame for this terrible waste?
If only we had found a way to reach
But we held back, afraid to preach

Why?
Why?

It's been almost a year since that time
Will this dull ache, will my pain ever fade?
My pressed Valentine's rose is dry now
Except for one teardrop stain

Why?
Tell me why
Why?
Oh Lord, tell me why
Why?
