Ever Wondered Why

Have you ever wondered why- we feel the way we do
All the games that we play- let our hearts go astray
Oh, so....so sad

Have you ever wondered why- love fades so fast
Like water through your hands- it's given up to chance
Oh, so....so sad
OH.......

We seem to settle in our bitter ways- embrace a numbing truce

A needed rescue from this cold, dark place- our masquerades reduce

Weighted down by a worlds ideals- embedded in our souls

Lucidity's escaped our grasp- our lives a murky dull

Have you ever wondered why- we hate the way we do
By the color of their skin- judgement is our sin
Oh, so....so sad

Have you ever wondered why- choose war over peace
All the doves have flown the coup- money stacked up to the roof
Oh, so....so sad
OH......

A desperate call in a tempest wind- the howling drowns our cry

Our joy is tempered with a shadows hope- a horizon's darkened sky

Our motions driven by the heartless rythm- steadied by the beat

Like soldiers marching to awaiting graves- bury our defeat

Have you ever wondered why, we stumble in the race
Ambition's choking grip- our dreams seem to slip
Oh, so....so sad

Have you ever wondered why- we give away to pride
We're afraid to let go- don't dare lose control
Oh, so....so sad
OH......
