Genesis – Tell Me Why – 1993

    Paroles

    Mothers crying in the street
    Children dying at their feet, tell me why
    People starving everywhere
    There’s too much food but none to spare, tell me why

    Can you see that shaft of sunlight
    Can you see it in my eyes
    I can feel the fire that’s burning
    Anger and hope so deep
    So deep within my heart
    Before my eyes
    For some it’s too late
    It seems there’s no-one listening

    People sleeping in the streets
    No roof above, no food to eat, tell me why
    See the questions in their eyes
    Listen to their children’s cries, tell me why

    If there’s a God
    Is he watching
    Can he give a ray of hope
    So much pain and so much sorrow
    Tell me what does he see
    When he looks at you
    When he looks at me
    What would he say
    It seems there’s no-one listening

    Who would think it still could happen
    Even in this time and place
    Politicians, they may save themselves
    But they won’t save their face
    Just hope against hope
    It’s not too late

    You say there’s nothing you can do
    Is there one rule for them and one for you
    Tell me why

    Listen can you see that shaft of sunlight
    Can you see it in my eyes
    I can feel the fire that’s burning
    Anger and hope so deep
    So deep within my heart
    Before my eyes
    For some it’s too late
    It seems there’s no-one listening

    Hurry for me, hurry for me, they cry
