WHY?
If you want to see a miracle of God, simply look up to the skies.

If you want to see a miracle forgotten, look to the beaten child's eyes.

See the yearning within him and the pain he lives each day,

And pray aloud, "My Lord. Why have you let things be this way."

I have seen these haunted eyes and they oft take over my dreams.

I cried at one's pointed question, "Is life as bad as it seems?"

I've watched them cry and I've watched them bleed with their desolated hearts.

I've argued with the "Powers That Be" who tear their futures apart.

What is it now we must see and do before we make a stand

To give these little guys a chance to grow to woman and man?

How much more do we expect them to take before we sound the cry?

How many more of these innocent children will we allow to die?

I say to those of you who hide, "CHILD ABUSE IS REAL."

It's not just something you read about or see on a Hollywood reel.

And believe it or not it's something we can stop but it will take us all

To fight with vote and court to put offenders behind the wall.

If you want to see a miracle of God, simply look up to the skies.

If you want to see a miracle forgotten, look to the beaten child's eyes.

See the yearning within him and the pain he lives each day,

And ask this question of yourself, "Why have I let it be this way?"
