im sitting here reading the book of life
constantly asking myself why..

doesnt even have enough to eat..
n tell me when your walking by..
can you see the tears in his eyes

why does this world seem so cold (seem so cold..)
just like a rich man
that wont give a pot a gold
oh no..

before my life comes to an end
lets try to make amends and lets give it a chance
oh tell me why (why..)

n mothers confused..just the same
shes saying that its alright..
but she needs a father in her life..
