I Wonder Why

I crawl across the soft red land
With hope in my heart and a gun in my hand
I want to run but I must stay
To try and survive for one more day

War is grief, it's misery
I wonder why it has to be
I wonder why, I wonder why it has to be
Tell me why it has to be, Lord, I just can't see

A shot rings out, I jump with fear
I feel the wind whiz by my ear
I turned around and there he lay
My best friend has died today

War is grief, it's misery
I wonder why it has to be
I wonder why, I wonder why it has to be
Tell me why it has to be, Lord, I just can't see

War is grief, it's misery
I wonder why it has to be
I wonder why, I wonder why it has to be
Tell me why it has to be, please, I just can't see

I crawl across the soft red land
With hope in my heart and a gun in my hand
I want to run but I must stay
To try and survive for one more day

War is grief, it's misery
I wonder why it has to be
I wonder why, I wonder why it has to be
Tell me why it has to be, Lord, I just can't see

I only wanna know why it has to be
Tell me, tell me, tell me why it has to be
