tell me why the grass was greener

year ago


I swear it used to grow here

but no more here



tell me why

on this hill

all the birds they used to come to fly here

come to die here



and tell my why i need to know

sometimes i wish i didn't have to know

all you show me



hey world

what you say

should i stick around for another day or two

don't give up on me

i won't give up on you

just believe in me like i believe in



tell me why on the corner

all the kids that used to come to run here

load the guns here

and tell me why

it's okay

to kill in the name of the gods we pray



tell me who said it's okay

to die in the name of the lies we say

tell me why there's child soldiers

tell me why they closed the borders

tell me how to fight disease

and tell me now won't you please



the only thing i want to do

is to be in the arms of someone who believes in me

like i believe in you

i try try try try

i try try try try for you

don't give up on me

and i cry cry cry cry

i cry cry cry cry for you

just believe in me

like i believe in you
