I've searched the open sky, to find a reason why
Oh Lord, Why Lord?
The colour of my skin, is said to be an awful sin
Oh Lord. Why Lord?
No, I cannot understand
No, I'll never never understand
Oh Lord. Why Lord?
I've got to give and give again
Much more than I can give
Oh Lord. Why Lord?
In this world you made so sacred
I only find problems and hatred
I just can't seem to find, find a new place
When every move I make is so unsafe
I feel the weight of their everlasting hate
But I still live in hope and faith
Oh Lord. Why Lord?
I wait the change, but nothing seems to change
Oh Lord. Why Lord?
So now you've heard my sadness in a story and a song
Oh Lord. Why Lord?
Tell me why Lord, just can't understand
Tell me why Lord. Tell me why lord
I've really got to know. Tell me why Lord
I gotta know. Tell me why Lord
