Kirk Franklin, Stevie Wonder - Why lyrics

I pledge allegiance to the
(tell me what we gon' do)
I used to know you but
(you don't call like you used to)
If you still love me can I
(give me a chance just to say how I feel
It may hurt you but what I'm seeing is real)

We're killing babies and
(I love to see children play)
I've got depression
(there's a new pill I saw today)
How hypocritical to
(nothing is wrong take a picture and
Just smile money's coming after while)

Why oh why we keep believing lies
Why oh why did Laci have to die why oh why
Lord tell me when our change is gon' come

There are no fathers and
(the system's holding me down)
Sisters are dying of AIDS
(I know my man don't sleep around)
Don't be stupid listen
(we all gon' die and since you only live
Once, you do you, you go head
Live your life) we're building churches but
(my pastor is on TV)
But are we building people
(I filed for divorce last week)
We're wasting money tell me
(why should I save? Let me have my worldly
Things God said He'll supply my needs)
(that ain't what he means)

Why oh why can't our soldiers come back home
Why oh why it seems like innocence is gone
Why oh why
Lord tell me when our change is gon' come
Why oh why
Are people still losing their jobs
Why oh why
We're spending money building bombs
Why oh why
Lord tell me when our change is gon' come

I just wanna be free, free, free
I just wanna be free, free, free
I just wanna be free, free, free

Wake up no more sleeping
(seems like my life ain't gon' change)
Let's stop making excuses
(I pray but things still stay the same)
See Jesus said that He will
(please, take this pain, I can't
Make it on my own
Ain't no sunshine when You're gone)

Why oh why don't we give you a chance
Why oh why put our life in Your hands
Why oh why are we afraid to say Your name
Why oh why is it because we want the fame
Why oh why
Did my homeboy have to take his life
Why oh why
That homeless man's outside tonight
Why oh why when trouble comes we wanna pray
Why oh why our country pushes You away

Why oh why i wanna know
Why oh why i wanna know, I wanna know
Why oh why i wanna know
Why oh why i wanna know, I wanna know
Why oh why
Lord tell me when our change is gon' come
