Youth grows old,
Youth grows old,
Executed words stand bold,
Executed words stand bold,
Waiting on time,
Waiting on time,
Love with truth to unfold,
Truth to unfold,
What's joke to you,
What is joke to you,
Is death to another,
Is death to another,
Though sharing the same sun,
Sharing the same sun,
Pollution is fed to sisters and brothers,
Sisters and brothers.

Why, why, why ? ...
Why, why, why ? ...

Why does a man laugh,
When another man cries,
Why are baby girls,
Abandoned to die ?.

Don't they see ?,
Don't they see ?,
We've been trying to decades,
We've been trying to decades,
Up many hills,
Up many hills,
With differents smiles to that of dead slaves,
Dead slaves,
Rush not the rivers,
Rush not the rivers,
That race towards the sea,
Race towards the sea,
Evidence evolution no longer favours humanity,
Humanity.

Why, why, why ? ...
Why, why, why ? ...

Why does a man laugh,
When another man cries,
Why is the truth,
Abandoned to die ?.

War introduced, ego looking fame,
Souls are lost through material gain,
Day has married night,
So mankind has to unite,
Spread the word, heed the call,
That which is true cannot fall.

Why does a man laugh,
When another man cries
Why is innocence,
Left to die,

Raining down tears of love,
From heaven,
She has opened her eyes and cries
To we,

Raining down tears of love,
From heaven,
She has opened her eyes and cries
To we,

How long,
How long,
What length of time
What length of time
Before we know peace
