I'm so alone in a crowd and cry Too many tears Just like a child who's lost I became a prisoner of my fears People come, people go They are hiding in shadows, Hiding in dreams Moving in, moving out They are nothing but strangers, strange as it seems My paper heart is so easily torn Again and again I never know what the reason may be It just doesn't end There's a sound in the air While the time goes on slipping, Slipping away In the air, it is everywhere, nowhere, somewhere So I'm gonna have to say Why (Is it there) Tell me why (Is it there) I don't ever wanna say good-bye (Do you ever wonder why?) As I look into an empty sky Somebody tell me why (Somebody tell me why) I feel there maybe something there I feel there maybe someone there Sometimes a ship's gotta break every chain To go to sea I'm getting on, I'm getting on, getting on I want a love to set me free Take a chance, take a stand There's a destiny waiting, waiting on a train And your kiss, it is everywhere, nowhere, somewhere It is warmer than rain Why (Is it there) Tell me why (Is it there) I don't ever wanna say good-bye (Do you ever wonder why?) As I look into an empty sky Somebody tell me why (Somebody tell me why) And when I'm wounded in the heart That's when I play my greatest part Come on, come on, come on- Cover me tonight Come on, come on, come on- I'm gonna make it right You know that I try, and I try and I try Why (Tell me now) Tell me why (Tell me how) I don't ever wanna say good-bye (Do you ever wonder why?) As I look into an empty sky Somebody tell me why (Somebody tell me why) Maybe somewhere (Tell me why) Maybe someway (Tell me why) Gonna find something to set me free (Do you ever wonder why?) I don't know what it's gonna be Somebody tell me why (Somebody tell me why) I feel there maybe something there I feel there maybe someone there
