Why Tell Me Why
Anita Meyer Lyrics
When I was young I felt the need of learning, learning
Love I was told kept the wheel on turning, turning
Still I'm trying to find, peace of mine inside
For once in your life you feel the urge of knowing, knowing
and wondering why
Come on people, better use our sense, our time is running out
there ain't no doubt about
We can make it, try to rearrange it if there's a price we got
to toss a dice
Oooh, won't you tell me what's right
Ooh Yeah, won't you tell me what's wrong
Ooh won't you tell me what's right. Somebody tell me now
Believe in destiny, believe in humanity, believe in we'll meet again
Somehow, somewhere, someday.
Why, tell me why, tell me why, tell me why do I pray
I need to know right now oooh.
Why, tell me why, tell me why, tell me why do I pray
I hope that freedom soon will come our way
Why, tell me why, tell me why, tell me why
Come on people, lent a helpin' hand, no need to fuss
and fight we all know where we stand
Help me make it, try to rearrange it
Name your price and I will toss the dice
Oooh, won't you tell me what's right
Ooh Yeah, won't you tell me what's wrong
Ooh won't you tell me what's right. Somebody tell me now
Believe in destiny, believe in humanity, believe in we'll meet again
Somehow, somewhere, someday.
Why, tell me why, tell me why, tell me why do I pray
I need to know right now oooh.
Why, tell me why, tell me why, tell me why do I pray
I hope that freedom soon will come our way
Why, tell me why, tell me why, tell me why do I pray
I need a key to help me anywhere
Why, tell me why, tell me why, tell me why do I pray
Somebody tell me now...
