Why?
Why must the feet of the poor
endure the pavement of resistance
and the grips of despair?
Their eyes can see no more beauty
in the sunlight or gentleness in the air
Oh Sun, why must you rise tomorrow
and meet those same eyes of sorrow
the strength of society refuses to repair
Reality has no more effect on the hearts of men
though with buckets of tears they pretend,
But deceitful eyes will always shed tears
lest the eyes of the sun be put out...

and the grips of despair?
Their eyes can see no more beauty

Oh Sun, why must you rise tomorrow
and meet those same eyes of sorrow

Reality has no more effect on the hearts of men
though with buckets of tears they pretend,
But deceitful eyes will always shed tears
lest the eyes of the sun be put out...
