Why?

Why do the babies starve When there's enough food to feed the world Why when there are so many of us Are there people still alone Why are the missiles called peace keepers When they're aimed to kill Why is a woman still not safe When she's in her home Love is hate War is peace No is yes And we're all free But somebody's gonna have to answer The time is coming soon Amidst all these questions and contradictions There are some who seek the truth But somebody's gonna have to answer The time is coming soon When the blind remove their blinders And the speechless speak the truth --- Why? - Tracy Chapman
