Why

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)
