How in this world can we put a man on the moon And still have a need for a place like St Jude's? And why is one man born In a place where all they know is war? An' a guy like me Has always been free An' how can two people who built a lovin' home Try for years an' never have a child of their own? When somewhere out there tonight There's a baby no-one's holdin' tight In need of love To me, that don't add up But I wasn't there the day you filled up the oceans I didn't get to see you hang the stars in the sky So I don't mean to second guess you Or criticise what I don't understand These are just a few questions I have An' why did my cousin have to die in that crash? A good kid, only seventeen, I still wonder 'bout that It seems unfair to me Some get the chance to chase their dreams An' some don't But what do I know? I wasn't there the day you filled up the oceans I didn't get to see you hang the stars in the sky So I don't mean to second guess you Or criticise what I don't understand These are just a few questions I have Why do I feel like you hear these prayers of mine When so many oughta be ahead of me in line? When you look down on me Can you see the good through all the bad? These are just a few questions I have
