Turn on the news today
what else do i see
something going on some where else
it means the world to me

shots going off
right on my tv
and i can't help myslef
to think this could be me

why do we have to fight
why do we have to cry
sacrafice our lives
to proove we have the rights
then sleep these lonely nights

why does it have to hurt
to many in desperse
why do we have to lose
there's nothing left to proove
where there's a will there's a way

walking down the road today
a lady came up to me
asking where her child had gone
it's so hard to believe

one minute you're there
the next minute you're gone
what's going on
and i can't help myself to think where we went wrong

why do we have to fight
why do we have to cry
sacrafice our lives
to proove we have the rights
then sleep these lonely nights

why does it have to hurt
to many in desperse
why do we have to lose
there's nothing left to proove
where there's a will there's a way
