Why Is It That?

A boy and girl have grown to love
While another child is taught to hate
Why is this world so cold?
We teach our kids
The rights and wrongs
And hope they teach once they're grown
Be positive
It's never too late to help someone

Why is it that?
We teach our kids to hate
Why is it that?
It's never ever too late
Why is it that?
A mother doesn't want to help her child
Why is it that?

A love affair was meant to be
Has turned into hostility
The two that love
They now fight
Two people's love has turned to hate

A painful heart can get so cold
Has shattered dreams
And that ain't right
No, that ain't right

Why is it that?
Your lover leaves you for another?
Why is it that?
We won't help our sisters and brothers
Why is it that?
People won't given even when they're able
Why is it that?

I don't understand the trials and tribulations
That some people suffer
Why so much pain
We need to try to pull it all together
Let’s make some changes
To make life a little more bearable for all

Why is it that?
We teach our kids to hate
Why is it that?
A mother doesn't want to help her child
It’s never too late

The Middle East is torn for life
A man is left without his wife
A war has torn his world apart
Starvation
It has plagued our world
A mother can't feed a baby girl
Why so unfair is our life
So tragic, life

Why is it that?
War is running wild in this world
Why is it that?
A father can abuse his little baby girl
Why is it that?
We seem to ignore
Why is it that?

Why is it that?
We teach our kids to hate
Why is it that?
A mother doesn't want to help her child
It's never too late
