"I Wonder Why" lyrics - ROYAL SOUTHERN BROTHERHOOD

Saw a man in jail (jail)
Look up and see the sky (jail)
Take his hat in his hand (yeah)
To catch a tear (yeah)
And I wonder why
(I wonder why)
I wonder why
(I wonder why)

Said I been to the hospital (yeah)
Hiding low down on the floor (yeah)
I said baby stop and halt (yeah)
A happy man came through the door
Well a child is born (a child is born)
Somebody's bout to die (somebody bout to die)
I dropped my head down (I dropped my head)
And I wonder why
(I wonder why)
I wonder why now
(I wonder why)

Two young boys (yeah)
Who make it day to day (yeah)
Making they mama saying
They was loading crates (yeah)
One boy grew up (yeah)
Hey be good (yeah)
And one boy became (yeah)
The terror of his own neighbourhood (yeah)
Well a new child is born (new child is born)
A new child is born (new child is born)
I wonder why
(Why, why, why)
Hey, hey, hey
I wonder why
(I wonder why)

A brave marine (yeah)
Sent to war (yeah)
He got to kill (yeah)
Or maybe die (yeah)
Yeah he lay on the beach (yeah)
With a [gauntlet?] on (yeah)
Maybe he even thought to cry (yeah)
'Cause he's shooting at people (shooting at people)
Shooting at people (shooting at people)
He never seen (he never seen)
Oh Lord (why, why, why)
Hey I wonder why
(I wonder why)
Oh yeah, I wonder why

I wonder why
(I wonder why)
(I wonder why)
