About the song
A story inspired by my daughter (who was 4)after she asked me what war was. When I tried to explain, she asked "Why?". I had no answer.
Lyrics
Rockets streak across the sky
A child looks at me
And asks me "Why?"
I saw her face across the room
The smell of sweat
Cause they'll be here soon.
Don't ask me why
I don't know why
A thousand thoughts race through my head
Things I should have done
Things I should have said
I feel her small hand taking mine
What she could have been
If she just had time
Don't ask me why
I don't know why
The rockets fly
Across the sky
The children cry
I don't know
Rockets streak across the sky
A child looks at me
And asks me "Why?"
I feel her small hand taking mine
What she could have been
If she just had time
Don't ask me why
I don't know why
The rockets fly
Across the sky
The children cry
I don't know why
The rockets fly
Across the sky
The children cry
I don't know why
A child looks at me
And asks me "Why?"
I saw her face across the room
The smell of sweat
Cause they'll be here soon.
Don't ask me why
I don't know why
A thousand thoughts race through my head
Things I should have done
Things I should have said
I feel her small hand taking mine
What she could have been
If she just had time
Don't ask me why
I don't know why
The rockets fly
Across the sky
The children cry
I don't know
Rockets streak across the sky
A child looks at me
And asks me "Why?"
I feel her small hand taking mine
What she could have been
If she just had time
Don't ask me why
I don't know why
The rockets fly
Across the sky
The children cry
I don't know why
The rockets fly
Across the sky
The children cry
I don't know why
