Lyrics
WHY
HEADS BENT IN SORROW
HEARTS FILLED WITH PAIN
HOPING TOMORROW
WON'T BRING THE SAME
LOOKING OUT OVER
THAT RUINED FRAME
WONDERING WHAT EVIL
BROUGHT US THIS SHAME
CHORUS
ONE WORLD TURNING
'ROUND AND 'ROUND
AND BURNING
BLOOD SPILLED
TEARS SHED
CHILDREN DEAD
WHY?
VERSE TWO
ALL I'VE BEEN GIVEN
ALL THAT I'VE OWNED
NOW HAS BEEN TAKEN
FOR REASONS UNKNOWN
WHO CAN I RUN TO
WHERE CAN I HIDE
FROM MURDEROUS MADMEN
LURKING OUTSIDE
CHORUS
ONE WORLD TURNING
'ROUND AND 'ROUND
AND BURNING
BLOOD SPILLED
TEARS SHED
CHILDREN DEAD
WHY?
BRIDGE
THEY SAY THAT TIME
WILL EASE MY PAIN
THAT MAY BE TRUE
BUT I WILL NEVER
BE THE SAME
CHORUS
BLOOD SPILLED
TEARS SHED
CHILDREN DEAD
WHY?
CHILDREN DEAD
WHY?
