I Wonder Why

I wonder why

I wonder why, I wonder why

I wonder, where's the vast blue sky

I wonder, where's the valued peace

When everyday soldiers die

 

I wonder when, I wonder who

I wonder who could make it true

I wonder when it all began

All of these wars we humans do

 

I wonder how, I wonder where

I wonder how these wars we bear

I wonder how we let them loose

Upon the land we'll always share

 

I wonder what, I wonder how

I wonder what's making us bow

I wonder what's holding us back

How can we such evil allow

 

I wonder why, I wonder why

I wonder why we've gone awry

I wonder if there is still hope

Or if we should bid peace goodbye
