Why Must I Live In Chains

Lyrics

[Verse 1] The first day, he created life, yeah And it's separated, yeah, all the day from night, yeah In the midst of the waters it stood And he said, all of this is good He made this world to always be free He let the rivers flow to the sea [Chorus] So tell me why So why must I live in chains? [Verse 2] Who's living in the dry land? Oh, he called it Earth And he made it part, oh, part of the universe He made wonders everywhere Even the birds that fly in the air He gave the sparrow the power to fly I guess my children got a reason to cry [Chorus] Tell me why Why must I live in chains? [Verse 3] When I look at this world Oh man, it makes me sick inside My endless tears, yeah, man, I try to hide, yeah I'm tired of being pushed and kicked in the face Somebody better hear me and get on the case He made man to rule the land If that man can't, oh yeah, yeah [Chorus] Tell me why Somebody tell me why must I live in chains? I want to know why, why Somebody tell me why, why Must I live in shame? Must I live in shame? I've got my right to I don't want to live in shame
