Well I saw the moon and there was no time
To keep the tide from going down
And my shadow moved beyond my shape
And I was raised above the ground
So I rose above the city lights
And the people were exposed
But I kept my head and I did it right
And many questions were posed
Why do we love and why do we hate
Why do we kill and steal
If there is a god why do so many people cry
Why can't we just be real
Well I saw mothers weep and children wail
I saw men who didn't care
And I saw politicians please themselves
And their nests were rarely bare
So the masses bowed and prayed to god
To help their souls be clean
But the truth is there with a wink and a nod
And refuses to be seen
So why do we love and why do we hate
Why do we kill and steal
If there is a god why do so many people cry
Why can't we just be real
Oh all this time and nothing much has moved
There's a madness in this life that takes us down
We take a part but if it suits us we don't know
So we play it in the dark til someone turns the lights on
Well there's a time and place for all to pass
But the man says we can't fly
So there's a long and lonely road ahead
Keep walkin' don't ask why
Why do we take and why do we beg
Why not say how we feel
If there is a time for love it's now
Why Can't We Just Be Real..
