lyrics

Why are we so - Small - Unable
To give more than ourselves, to give more than ourselves
And still we pretend we’re made of…
And still pretending we’re made of… Stars
Why are we so – Keen on sending - our own flesh to the war
And still crying over them
And still crying over…
Peace
- We say we look for the answers -
WHY ? WHY ?
But we have no ears and our lips are sealed

Why such a despair
To some time is unfair, to others it brings trouble
Rich to rich, poor to poor
Then we get old…X2
Trying to reach for something - high X2
Still believing we belong to the - Sky X2
Why, why, why
- We say we look for the answers -
WHY ? WHY ?
But we have no ears and our lips are sealed
Aahaahaaah
And our lips are sealed…
WHY ? WHY ?
