Why (Reissue Bonus Track)

(album: Heaven On Earth - 1987)

If I could hold the world in my hands
Keep it warm, protect it from harm
How would it be?
If I could make the fairy tales true
Through the years and without tears
How should it be?

Why do we have to have dark to see the light
To feel the pain of mistakes to learn what's right?
It's like touching a flame, but I can't stop myself
Like jumping off cliffs when I know what's below
Does it stop me? I don't think so

If I could calm the storms in my seas
If I could have a touch with God-seers
What would it be?
If I could smile and say: "We're OK
Just a joke, nothing's broken"
What could it be?

Why do we have to have dark to see the light
To feel the pain of mistakes to learn what's right?
It's like living a lie when you're hiding the truth
Like pretending to smile when you just wanna cry
Does it stop me? Just for a wile

Why do we have to have dark to see the light
To feel the pain of mistakes to learn what's right?
It's like living a lie when you're hiding the truth
Like pretending to smile when you just wanna cry
Does it stop me? Just for a wile

It's like living a lie when you're hiding the truth
Like pretending to smile when you just want to die
Does it stop me? Just for a wile
