Текст песни Why - Ricky Fante

Remember Nancy she was raising little baby girls
Working hard, had a job in the straight world
We would laugh, have a smoke in the front room
While the kids sat around watching cartoons
One day, the kids they were at school
Ex-man came around actin' like a fool
Shut him out 'cause he didn't live there anymore
So he shot her with a bullet through the front door

Chorus:
If it's all up to fate, should I sit back and wait
Or pretend I don't care
If one day you're not there
How can I understand
That it's out of my hands
And with tears in my eyes
I can only ask why

Remember when the metal fell burning through the air
Flying back from the final frontier
Everyone back home waiting on the ground
Watching pieces of it all come falling down
Thinking back on the moment when they said goodbye
Trying to be brave, trying hard not to cry
When they smiled 'fore they flew into space again
No even through they'd never see their face again

Chorus

Burning flames falling down from the sky
Who's to blame what's the reason why
Sometimes when I'm down and I'm feeling low
I sit and think about the people that I used to know
I keep wondering if there really is a master plan
They say there's nothing I can do 'cause I'm just a man

Chorus
