Tell me why
Be my guide show me the way
Tell me why
Hey you have a really nice day
Tell me why
I am down on my knees pray
Tell me why

So you think you got it made
I live my sorry half life in the shade
Daylight breaks through a twilight sky
I gaze up at the heavens awry
Point me in the right direction
Of emotion give a lethal injection 

Tell me why
I try so hard to understand
Tell me why
I am lost in no man's land
Tell me why
What is the the master plan
Tell me why

We are living in paradise some folk say
For me just another ordinary day
It would be nice to have a dream
Nothing fancy just to make me gleam
Just a little faith and hope
Something to believe in help me to cope

Tell my why
The reason for my existence 
Tell me why
I lack pure drive and persistence
Tell me why
My future seems lost in the distance 
Tell me why

Tell me why
Give me half a chance
I am always in a trance 
Tell me why
