Tell Me Why Lyrics - We Can't Dance - Genesis

Mothers crying in the street 

Children dying at their feet, tell me why 

People starving everywhere there's too much food but none to spare, 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 seems to late 

it seems there's no-one listening 

People sleeping in the streets 

no roof above no food to eat, tell me why 

see the questions in their eyes 

listen to their childrens cries 

tell me why

NEW SONG: Blink-182 - 'Happy Days' Lyrics 

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 

just hope against hope 

it's not to late 

You say there's nothing you can do 

is there one rule for them and one for you, 

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 to late 

it seems there's no-one listening 

hurry for me, hurry for me, they cry
