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 sadnessin 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.
