WHY?
school shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary School in America.
I put a few words to it and that was that.
Then when a young soldier was murdered in the
streets of London, I rewrote the last verse and Bear
kindly gave me permission to make it public.
Why does that mother cry
A sadness is in her eye
Why is her baby not by her side
Somebody with a gun
Has taken her only son
What is this madness we have become.
Why must our children die
While we're just standing by
When will we stand up and say it's enough
Why did that soldier die
Why does his mother cry
Why is her baby not by her side
