Why?

Oh, how could I be
I could never be unruly to the holy one of creation

Why can't the children of the world unite?
And why can't mankind live up right?
And when will the leaders of this world realize
That their ship is about to capsize?
And when will there be any peace on the earth?
When will mankind know what life is really worth?

Everyone is asking (Asking)
People keep on wondering (Wondering)
Questions turning and turning in our minds
Everyone is asking (Asking)
People keep on wondering (Wondering)
Questions keep turning and turning in our minds

How can the leaders of this world sit by
And watch the poor and the needy as they die?
And why do we really have to fuss and fight
To defend our God-given rights?
And why should we live our lives like thieves
When we know for sure that Jah exists?

Everyone is asking (Asking)
People keep on wondering (Wondering)
Questions keep turning and turning in our minds
Everyone is asking (Asking)
People keep on wondering (Wondering)
Questions keep turning and turning in our minds

Wondering and pondering
Questions keep turning in our minds
We could never, man should never be so unruly

When will we restore the morality
In our homes and our community?
And when will we bring back our family
To the way our Father ordained it to be?
And when will there be any peace on the earth?
When will mankind truly know what life is worth?

Everyone is asking (Asking)
People keep on wondering (Wondering)
Questions turning and turning in our minds
Everyone is asking (Asking)
People keep on wondering (Wondering)
Questions keep turning and turning in our minds

Why can't the children of this world unite?
