Lyrics to A Million Reasons Why (Extended)
Lyrics to the song A Million Reasons Why as recorded by Phil Manzanera.
Words & Music By Tim Finn, Gary Dyson & Phil Manzanera
We're living in a world of sorrow
Some people have no tomorrow
Singing songs of there betrayal
It's easy to ignore the children
Who don't know why they're made a victim
It seems we've lost their holy grail
You've heard the cry, you've heard the call
You can't ignore the secret war
You'd better think about it
There's more than a million reasons why
Can't feed the world on greed and power
Dictators changing by the hour
A voice of freedom goes to jail
The politicians feed corruption
As people disappear by the gun
It's up to us to tell the tail
You've heard the cry, you've heard the call
You can't ignore the secret war
You'd better think about it
There's more than a million reasons why
They can't return, they can't return
You've dropped your bombs and sell your arms
When will you return
There's more than a million reasons why
