oh lord, why lord / prayer

parliament

i've searched the open sky

to find the reason why

oh lord

why lord

the color of my skin

is said to be an awful sin

oh lord

why lord

no i cannot understand

no i can never never understand

oh lord

why lord

i've got to live and give and give

much more than i can give

oh lord

why lord

in this world it is no secret

all the problems and hatred

oh lord

why lord

i just can't seem to find why

my every move is so unseen

oh lord

why lord

why this lonely man must try

and can have no peace of mind

oh lord

why lord

i just can't help but cry

the tears won't stay inside

oh lord

why lord

i feel the weight of everlasting hate

but my strength will not grow faint

oh lord

why lord

i'll wear the chains

so every man must see the change

oh lord

why lord

i ask no special kindness

i ask no special deed

oh lord

why lord

only peace and justice

forever more

oh lord

why lord

prayer

is it so much to ask

even of you

to be the same as the

majority

why is it that i must suffer

without even a cause

and no one cares

oh lord

why god
