Everyone Is Asking
Luciano Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

How could I be?
I could never be unruly,
To the Holy One of Creation, no, no, no

Why can't the children of the world unite?
And why, can't mankind be all right?
And when will the leaders of this world realize,
That the ship is about to capsize?
And when will there, be any peace on earth?
When will mankind, know what life is really worth?

Everyone is asking, (asking)
People keep on wondering (wondering)
Questions keep turning and turning in our minds
Everyone is asking, (asking)
People keep on wondering, (wondering)
Questions keep turning and turning in our minds

How can the leaders of this world sit by,
And watch the poor, and the needy as they die?
And why do we really have to fuss and fight,
To defend, our God-given right?
And why should we, live our lives like this,
When we know, for sure that Jah exists?

Everyone is asking, (asking)
People keep on wondering, (wondering)
Questions keep turning and turning in our minds
Everyone is asking, (asking)
People keep on wondering, (wondering)
Questions keep turning and turning in our minds

We should never,
Man should never,
Be so unruly.

When will we restore the morality,
In our homes, and our community?
And when will we bring back our family,
To the way, our Father ordained it to be? (oh, when)
And when will there be,
Any peace on earth? (Oh, God now)
When will mankind, truly know what life is worth?

Oh, God now,
Everyone is asking, (everyone is asking)
We keep wondering,
So many questions, keep on turning in our minds
Everyone is asking, (everyone is asking)
They keep wondering
Questions keep on coming in,
They keep turning in our minds





Why can't the children of the world unite?...

Overall Meaning

In Luciano's song "Everyone Is Asking," the lyrics express a deep yearning for a world that is more united, peaceful, and just. The song begins with the singer questioning his own actions and intentions, declaring that he could never be unruly to the Holy One of Creation. The song then escalates to bigger societal issues as the singer wonders why the children of the world cannot unite and why mankind can't be alright. He asks when the leaders of the world will realize that the ship is about to capsize, and when there will be any peace on earth. The questions he poses are a reflection of the confusion and unpredictability of the world and its inhabitants.


The singer then goes on to address specific issues such as poverty, inequality, and moral decay in homes and communities. He questions why leaders can sit by and watch the poor and needy die, and why it takes so much fuss and fight to defend their God-given right. He asks why mankind cannot live their lives better, knowing that Jah (God) exists. He questions when humanity will truly understand the worth of life.


The recurring line "everyone is asking" suggests that these questions are not new or novel, and everyone has been asking them for some time. The song's overall tone is one of desperation, hoping that someone might have the answers to the questions posed. Through the song, Luciano encourages listeners to reflect on the world we live in and to strive for a more united and peaceful society.
