How in this world can we put a man on the moon
And still have the need for a place like St. Jude's
And why is one man born in a place where all they know is war
And a guy like me has always been free
And how can two people who built a loving home
Try for years and never have a child of their own
And somewhere out there tonight there's a baby no one's holding tight
In need of love, to me that don't add up
Chorus:
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 criticize what I don't understand
G <-(Em chorus 2) C9
These are just a few questions I have
And why did my cousin have to die in that crash
A good kid only 17 I still wonder 'bout that
It seems unfair to me some get the chance to chase their dreams
And some don't, but what do I know
CHORUS
Solo chords (coming out of chorus) : Em C9 A C9
Why do I feel like you hear these prayers of mine
When so many oughtta 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
