lyrics

WONDER WHY

Everywhere I go
People do, what they know
Make their smile a sigh
That says ‘hello, but means goodbye

Then they close their eyes
And say a prayer inside
“Lord help me to get by,
Though I wonder why… I even try.”

Everything we do
Is so real, but so untrue
It’s written in the book
Of our lives, but no one looks.

We just close their eyes
And say a prayer inside
“Lord help me to get by,
Though I wonder why… I even try.”

Every-time it rains
Pennies run
Down the drains
Falling from above
They’re not for you, they’re all for love

So just close your eyes
And say a prayer inside
“Lord help me to get by,
Though I wonder why… I even try.”
