Wonder Why
Gilbert O'Sullivan


Some say the right words
Some say it's absurd
To think that children can
Brutally die
I say it's easy
So very easy
And all we do
Is wonder why
In spite of progress
You say we're making
In spite of wisdom
Stretching afar
We find solutions
Always solutions
But none to mend
A broken heart
Can't be in two places at one time
I can't even stretch my legs
Without someone pointing a finger at me
Saying you'd better stop or else
You are the kingdom. you are the glory
No doubt without you I just couldn't survive
And yet It happens, oh when It happens
What do we do. we wonder why
Can't be In two places at one time
I can't even stretch my legs
Without someone pointing a finger at me
Saying you're too big for yourself
Some say the right words. some say it's absurd
To think that children. without food can die
I say It's easy. so very easy
And all we do is wonder why
