All I Wanna Know

(Intro) (Verse 1) All I wanna know Is why we keep on fighting wars we’ll never win Why the cries of broken children get drowned in the wind Why the hands that build are the first to fall apart And why we find it so easy to break a fragile heart (Chorus) All these questions in the air Whispers no one wants to hear We turn away, we close our eyes But the silence never lies All I wanna know is why, is why (Verse 2) All I wanna know Is how the rivers run dry while the rich waste the rain How the forests fall in silence but nobody feels the pain How we poison the earth for a moment's gold And forget that the future is a story yet untold (Chorus) All these questions in the air Whispers no one wants to hear We turn away, we close our eyes But the silence never lies All I wanna know is why, is why (Bridge) Will we ever change the lines we write? Or leave the dark and choose the light? Will we give our children songs instead of scars? Dreams instead of battle scars? (Verse 3) All I wanna know Is if the hunger in their eyes will ever disappear If the hands that hold tomorrow will find hope near If love can rise where the ashes used to fall If we can find a way to answer the call (Final Chorus) All these questions in the air Whispers no one wants to hear We turn away, we close our eyes But the silence never lies All I wanna know is why, is why (Outro) All I wanna know... All I wanna know...
