Wherefore and Why

Lyrics

[Verse 1] When I awoke this mornin' Something inside of me Told me that this must be my day I saw the morning train I felt the wind change Too many times I'm on my way [Chorus] Come on sunshine, what can you show me Where can you take me to make me understand? The wind can shake me, brothers forsake me The rain can touch me, but can I touch the rain? [Verse 2] Then I saw the sun rise Above a cotton sky Just like a candy cane delight I saw the milkman I saw the businessman I saw the only road in sight [Verse 3] Then I got to thinkin' What makes you wanna go To find the wherefore and the why? So many times now Oh Lord, I can't remember If it's September or July [Chorus] Come on sunshine, what can you show me Where can you take me to make me understand? The wind can shake me, brothers forsake me The rain can touch me, but can I touch the rain? [Verse 4] All at once it came to me I saw the wherefore And you can see it if you try It's in the sun above It's in the one you love You'll never know the reason why [Chorus] Come on sunshine, what can you show me Where can you take me to make me understand? The wind can shake me, brothers forsake me The rain can touch me, but can I touch the rain? So much to lose, so much to gain
