Why


People killing, people dying I just can't escape this crying Why do we hurt each other Why can't we all just get along This world, it just feels so wrong Children aren't meant to die as babies But meant to grow up as intelligent men and ladies People killing, people dying I just can't escape this crying Why can't we all be sane It's that simple and plain Innocence shattered What is the matter Everyone has the right to live But no one has the right to kill This isn't a nightmare This is real People killing, people dying I just can't escape this crying
