Why Is It That?

Lyrics

A boy and girl have grown to love While another child is taught to hate Why is this world so cold? We teach our kids The rights and wrongs And hope they teach once they're grown Be positive It's never too late to help someone Why is it that? We teach our kids to hate Why is it that? It's never ever too late Why is it that? A mother doesn't want to help her child Why is it that? A love affair was meant to be Has turned into hostility The two that love They now fight Two people's love has turned to hate A painful heart can get so cold Has shattered dreams And that ain't right No, that ain't right Why is it that? Your lover leaves you for another? Why is it that? We won't help our sisters and brothers Why is it that? People won't given even when they're able Why is it that? I don't understand the trials and tribulations That some people suffer Why so much pain We need to try to pull it all together Let's make some changes To make life a little more bearable for all Why is it that? We teach our kids to hate Why is it that? A mother doesn't want to help her child It's never too late The Middle East is torn for life A man is left without his wife A war has torn his world apart Starvation It has plagued our world A mother can't feed a baby girl Why so unfair is our life So tragic, life Why is it that? War is running wild in this world Why is it that? A father can abuse his little baby girl Why is it that? We seem to ignore Why is it that? Why is it that? We teach our kids to hate Why is it that? A mother doesn't want to help her child It's never too late
