Every time I open my eyes I bear witness to the endless suffering Horrified by the monsters we've become I'm beginning to realize We're a cancer, consuming everything Doing damage that cannot be undone And I don't know why We're allowed to survive And I don't know why we're alive (tell me why) And I don't know why Our humanity has died Can anyone tell me why? (Tell me why) On the edge of destruction now Every day, getting closer to the end As we stand there and watch what we have done As every corner of the world is shaken I feel the hearts of mothers breaking Will we even have the strength to carry on? And I don't know why We're allowed to survive And I don't know why we're alive (tell me why) And I don't know why Our humanity has died Can anyone tell me why? (Tell me why) This can't be all that we know Can we build a better tomorrow? 'Cause our time is borrowed There's nowhere left to run This can't be all that we know Can we build a better tomorrow? No time left to borrow And I don't know why We're allowed to survive And I don't know why we're alive (tell me why) And I don't know why Our humanity has died Can anyone tell me why? (Tell me why) And I don't know why We're allowed to survive And I don't know why we're alive (tell me why) And I don't know why Our humanity has died Can anyone tell me why? (Tell me why)
