Kirk Franklin - Why

I pledge allegiance to the tell me
what we gon' do
I used to know you
but you don't call like you used to
If you still love me can I
give me a chance just to say
how I feel it may hurt you
but what I'm seeing is real
We're killing babies and
I love to see chil dren play
I've got depression there's a new pill I saw today
How hypocritical to
nothing is wrong take a picture and
just smile money's coming after while
Why Oh Why Why Oh Why
we keep believing lies did Laci have to die
Why Oh Why Lord tell me
when our change is gon' come
There are no fathers
and the system's holding me down
Sisters are dying of AIDS
I know my man don't sleep around
Don't be stupid listen we all gon' die
And since you only live once
you do you you go head live your life
We're building churches but my pastor is on TV
But are we building people
I filed for divorce last week
We're wasting money tell me why
should I save Let me have my worldly things
God said He'll supply my needs
that ain't what he means
Why Oh Why Why Oh Why
can't our soldiers come back home
It seems like innocence is gone
Are people still losing their jobs
We're spending money building bombs
Free I just wanna be free
Wake up no more sleeping
seems like my life ain't gon' change
Let's stop making excuses
I pray but things still stay the same
See Jesus said that He will please take this pain
I can't make it on my own ain't no sunshine when
You're gone
2 nd Why
Why oh Why Why oh Why
Don't we give you a chance
Put our life in Your hands
Are we afraid to say Your name
Is it because we want the fame
Did my homeboy have to take his life
That homeless man's outside tonight
When trouble comes we wanna pray
Our country pushes You away
I pledge allegiance to the tell me
what we gon' do
I used to know you
but you don't call like you used to
If you still love me can I
give me a chance just to say
how I feel it may hurt you
but what I'm seeing is real
