Please Tell Me Why

PLEASE TELL ME WHY: Music and Lyrics by Steven Jackson

Look at you
Now look at me
The Earth and sky
And the place in between
The setting Sun and the rising Moon
If only we could co-exist like them too.

I close my eyes
And I drift away
To another time
To another place
Please tell me why
With all of Heaven above
We cannot find peace on Earth
We cannot find the Love.

I don't know what it is I'm trying to do
But the only thing that's working is me and you
I don't know what it is I'm trying to say
Please tell me why
Please tell me why.

So when you think
You've finally found your truth
Climb up a ladder
And stand upon your roof
Then gaze upon
The world that's waiting below
Are you feeling small
Feeling insecure.
Please tell me why
With all Creation below
We watch the ripples we create
With the stones we throw
Please tell me why
With all of Heaven above
We cannot find peace on Earth
We cannot find the love.

I don't know what it is I'm trying to do
But the only thing that's working is me and you
I don't know what it is I'm trying to say
Please tell me why
Please tell me why.

Look at you
Now look at me
The Earth and sky
And the space in between
The setting Sun and the rising Moon
If only we could co-exist like them too.
