Tell Me Why

TELL ME WHY
IN THIS LAND THAT I LOVE
IS IT ONLY COINCIDENCE
OR ARE WE BEING JUDGED FROM ABOVE?

TELL ME WHY
AS I WRITE THIS WITH MY TEARS
MY CONCERN IS FOR OUR COUNTRY
TRYING HARD TO CONTROL MY FEAR

TELL ME WHY
TIMES CAN’T BE AS THEY WERE
WHEN FAMILY WAS WHAT MATTERED
AND YOUR FUTURE WAS SECURE

TELL ME WHY
WHEN YOUR NEIGHBORS WERE YOUR FRIENDS
YOU KNEW THEM BY THEIR FIRST NAMES
AND IN NEED ON THEM YOU COULD DEPEND

TELL ME WHY
PRAYER WAS REMOVED FROM OUR SCHOOLS
DID MADELYN MURRAY O’HARE
GET HER WAY AND MAKE US LOOK LIKE FOOLS?

TELL ME WHY
IT’S WRONG TO DISCIPLINE A CHILD
A WHACK OR TWO FROM MY DAD
KEPT ME FROM GOING WILD

TELL ME WHY
YOU EXPECT TEACHERS TO RAISE YOUR KIDS
SHAME ON YOU, IT'S NOT THEIR JOB
FROM RESPONSIBILITY YOU’VE HID

TELL ME WHY
ALL OUR POLITICIANS DO IS FIGHT
IF THEY COULD GROW UP, WORK TOGETHER
THEN THIS COUNTRY WOULD BE ALL RIGHT

TELL ME WHY
OUR NATION IS IN SO MUCH DEBT
IF OUR CREDITORS DEMANDED FULL PAYMENT
THEN WE DESERVE WHAT WE GET

TELL ME WHY
UNBORN BABIES ARE ALLOWED TO DIE
IT’S A SHAME THAT THEIR MOTHERS
WON’T HEAR THEIR NEWBORN’S CRY

TELL ME WHY
SUPER POWER WE’RE SUPPOSED TO BE
NO WAR’S BEEN WON SINCE WORLD WAR TWO
I PRAY THERE’S NOT A WORLD WAR THREE

TELL ME WHY
OUR CHILDREN CAN’T GO OUT AND PLAY
BECAUSE MOLESTATION AND KIDNAPPING
IS A THREAT TO THEM EACH AND EVERY DAY

TELL ME WHY
DISPUTES ARE SOMETIMES WON
BY LETTING GO OF SELF CONTROL
AND THE SHOOTING OF A GUN

TELL ME WHY
WHEN GOING TO CHURCH WAS THE RULE
WE ALLOW HATRED, STRIFE, PERSECUTION
EMPTY PEWS AS SATAN’S TOOLS

TELL ME WHY
CONTROVERSY IS FORCED ON ME
BY INSULTING OUR NATION’S FLAG
WHILE DOWN ON BENDED KNEE

PLEASE TELL ME WHY
WE CAN’T SEEM TO GET ALONG
“BE PROUD TO BE AN AMERICAN”
LIVE UP TO THIS PATRIOTIC SONG
