IF THE MOON ROSE JUST ONE NIGHT A YEAR

WOULD WE STAY UP ALL NIGHT WITH OUR EYES TO THE SKY?

BUT SINCE IT SHINES MOST EVERY NIGHT

WE DON’T EVEN LOOK UP

AND SOON WE STOP ASKING

"WHY?"

WHY IS THE DAY LIGHT? WHY IS THE DARK, NIGHT?

WHY IS UP NOT DOWN? WHY IS LEFT NOT RIGHT?

WHY IS GOD UPPER MIDDLE-CLASS REPUBLICAN WHITE?

I WAS JUST WONDERING….

WHY DOES FREEDOM COST SO MUCH? I THOUGHT IT WAS FREE.

WHY IS LIFE SO FRAGILE? IT’S A MYSTERY TO ME.

WHY DO I FEEL NUMB TO ALL THIS TRAGEDY?

I WAS JUST WONDERING….

WHY IS WISDOM SO SCARCE AND ADVICE SO VERBOSE?

WHY DOES CHASING AFTER THRILLS LEAVE US COMATOSE?

WHY DO THOSE WHO HAVE THE LEAST…GIVE THE MOST?

I WAS JUST WONDERING…

WHY DOES THE RAIN FALL ON THE GOOD AND THE BAD?

WHY IS HAPPINESS SO FLEETING AND SADNESS SO SAD?

WHY IS JUSTICE SO HARD TO FIND? IT MAKES ME MAD!

I WAS JUST WONDERING…

CHORUS

WHY IS HELLO SO SHORT AND GOODBYE SO LONG?

WHY, IN THE MIDST OF IT ALL, IS HOPE SO STRONG?

WHY CAN THE ANSWER BE RIGHT, BUT THE HEART SO WRONG?

I WAS JUST WONDERING…

CHORUS

WHY DOES LOVE COME IN WAYS SO EASY TO MISS?

WHY IS LOVE IN THE HUMAN HEART SO EASY TO TWIST?

COULD IT BE THAT ONLY IN TRUE LOVE, DO WE EXIST?

I WAS JUST WONDERING…
