Oh Lord, Why Lord
(专辑: Do Your Own Thing - 1969)
I've searched the
open sky To find the
reason why Oh Lord, why, why Lord? The
color of my skin Is said to be an awful sin Oh Lord, why, why Lord? Why Lord, why Lord? No, I
can not understand No, I'll never understand Oh Lord, why, why Lord? I've got to live and live And give much more Than I
can give Oh Lord (Oh Lord) Why, why Lord? (Why Lord?) Lord, in this world You made so sacred I
only find problems And hatred, oh, oh Oh Lord (Oh Lord) Why, why, why Why Lord? (Why Lord?) I
just can't seem to find Any place, my every move Is unsafe (Oh Lord) Oh Lord, why, why Lord? (Why Lord?) Tell me, why Lord? (Oh Lord) Why Lord? (Why Lord?) Oh Lord, why Lord? Why Lord, why Lord? (Why Lord?) Why this long and bitter strife Must go on for equal rights? Why can't there be some harmony Instead of constant agony? (Why Lord?) I
just can't help but cry For the
tears won't Stay inside, Lord (Why Lord?) Why Lord, why Lord? (Why Lord?) Why Lord? I
feel the
weight Of everlasting hate Yet, I
live with hope And little faith, Lord Why Lord, why Lord? (Why Lord?) I
weight the
change But nothing ever seems To change (Why Lord?) Why Lord, why Lord? (Why Lord?) Why? I
ask no special kindness I
ask not for a
crown I
only for some justice lord To restore what's right from wrong Why Lord, why Lord? Why Lord, why Lord? (Oh Lord, why Lord?) So now, you've heard My sabbath, Lord In a
story and song Now, tell me why Lord? (Oh Lord, oh, yeah) Oh Lord (Why Lord?) I
don't ask for a
kingdom to rule, Lord Justice is only one man's tool Yes, Lord, why Lord? (Why Lord?) Why Lord, why Lord? (Why Lord?)
