Live Version

She sits and thinks about what it's all for Her mother died when very young Falling paralyzed She wakes up and scratches his head So little money and so little had Why is it that so many tears Came each day With the sky above me She turns to me And promises With the world below me She'll shatter and crush me If I could I would Ask him one thing How can there be So much death And so much Pain Ma comes out The family on the street Wonders how that could ever be Scared in the morning And scared at night Scared that it won't be all right Scared that his father will now Do the same to him tonight With the sky above me She turns to me And promises With the world below me She'll shatter and crush me If I could I would Ask him one thing How can there be So much death And so much Pain What evil could avoid that your approach To be struck down before his life began So powerful and it comes home Why must you hurt for Can it be worth the lies little ones you gave Ma needed hers too With the sky above me She turns away And promises With the world below me She'll shatter and crush me If I could I would Ask him one thing How can there be How can there be So much death And pain
