Why? - Tracy Chapman

Why do the babies starve

When there’s enough food to feed the world

Why when there’re so many of us Are there people still alone

Why are the missiles called peace keepers

When they’re aimed to kill

Why is a woman still not safe

When she’s in her home

Love is hate

War is peace

No is yes

And we’re all free

But somebody’s gonna have to answer

The time is coming soon

Amidst all these questions and contradictions

There’re some who seek the truth

But somebody’s gonna have to answer

The time is coming soon

When the blind remove their blinders

And the speechless speak the truth
