I've searched the open sky To find the reason why Oh Lord, why Lord
The color of my skin Is said to be an awful sin Oh Lord, why Lord
No, I cannot understand No, I can never, never understand Oh Lord, why Lord
I've got to live and give Much more than I can give Oh Lord, why Lord
Oh why, why why, why why Why why, why why, why Lord
In this world it is no secret All the problems and hatred Oh Lord, why Lord
Why why, why why, why Lord Why why, why why, why Lord
I just can't seem to find why My every move is so unseen Oh Lord, why Lord
Why why, why why, why Lord
Why this lonely man must try And can have no peace of mind Oh Lord, why Lord
I just can't help but cry The tears won't stay inside Oh Lord, why Lord
Why why, why why, why Lord
I've got to live and give Much more than I can give Oh Lord, why Lord (2x)
Why why, why why, why Lord
I feel the weight of everlasting hate But my strength will not grow faint Oh Lord, why Lord
Why why, why why, why Lord
I'll wear the chains So every man must see the change Oh Lord, why Lord
Why why, why why, why Lord
I ask no special kindness I ask no special deed Oh Lord, why Lord
Why why, why why, why Lord
Only peace and justice Forever more Oh Lord, why Lord
Why why, why why, why Lord
Is it so much to ask Even of you To be the same as the Majority Why is it that I must suffer Without even a cause And no one cares
Oh Lord, why God
I've got to live and give Much more than I can give Oh Lord, why Lord (2x)
Why why, why why, why Lord
The color of my skin Is said to be an awful sin Oh Lord, why Lord
No, I cannot understand No, I can never, never understand Oh Lord, why Lord
I've got to live and give Much more than I can give Oh Lord, why Lord
Oh why, why why, why why Why why, why why, why Lord
In this world it is no secret All the problems and hatred Oh Lord, why Lord
Why why, why why, why Lord Why why, why why, why Lord
I just can't seem to find why My every move is so unseen Oh Lord, why Lord
Why why, why why, why Lord
Why this lonely man must try And can have no peace of mind Oh Lord, why Lord
