Why Songtext

von Kip Winger

He's the lonely spirit
Chained in empty space
His simple soul is witness
To the sins that I have made
He longs for only innocence
As I close my eye to the truth
That I am he and he is me
And we've always been one

Why
We never learn
Why

Only one life
One fight
Only one voice
In the distant night
If only one
What's the sacrifice
Is forgiveness
Never knowing why

He shakes hands with hatred
Kisses the rose of greed
He prays for salvation
But never feels no regret
Still longing for the innocence
He closed his eyes to the truth
That I am he and he is me
And we're forever one

Why
We never learn
Why

Only one life
One fight
Only one voice
In the distant night
If only one
What's the sacrifice
Is forgiveness
Never knowing why

Only One life
One fight
Only one voice
In the distant night
If only one
Can we give love
Never knowing why
Only one pain
One plight
Is forgiveness
Never knowing why
