Tell Me Why

Tell me why

The rain must fall

On all the children of the world

They do not have

Some sunny land

Where white knights

Will take them by the hand

They are born

They live alone for so long

Why can't you leave them alone

Some day they may

Sing your song

And after all

They are so sad and small

You've made them

Orphans in the world

They're in the land

That you forgot

Where only

Hands and eyes are real

Your face is strange

It looks just like rain

We are not as holy as you are

But we are not as cruel

So is this your plan

With our own hands

To be everything

You're not

They are born

They live alone for so long

Why can't you leave them alone

Some day you may

Sing their song
