I've searched the open sky
To find the reason why
Oh Lord, why Lord?

The color of my skin
Is said to be an awful sin
Oh Lord, why Lord?

No, I cannot understand
No, I can never, never understand
Oh Lord, why Lord?

I've got to live and give
Much more than I can give
Oh Lord, why Lord?

In this world it is no secret
All the problems and hatred
Oh Lord, why Lord?

I just can't seem to find why
My every move is so unseen
Oh Lord, why Lord?

Why this lonely man must try
And can have no peace of mind
Oh Lord, why Lord?

I just can't help but cry
The tears won't stay inside
Oh Lord, why Lord?

I've got to live and give
Much more than I can give
Oh Lord, why Lord?

I feel the weight of everlasting hate
But my strength will not grow faint
Oh Lord, why Lord?

I'll wear the chains
So every man must see the change
Oh Lord, why Lord?

I ask no special kindness
I ask no special deed
Oh Lord, why Lord?

Only peace and justice
Forever more
Oh Lord, why Lord?


Is it so much to ask

Even of you

To be the same as the majority

Why is it that I must suffer

Without even a cause

And no one cares

Oh Lord, why God?
