[Chorus]

So why don't we cry when we see people dying?

Not a tear that act like I'm not even trying

There's so much more to this temporary life

One day yall gon' understand and say why, why, why

[Verse 1]

Good morning preacher

Man, I'm starving, what you recommend?

I, I need somebody to set me off right now

How dare you call me friend but never make me understand

If I can find the light it won't be hard to find the ground

[Chorus]

So why don't we cry when we see people dying?

Not a tear that act like I'm not even trying

There's so much more to this temporary life

One day yall gonna understand and say why, why, why

[Verse 2]

Well just the other week I'm flippin' through on my TV

Now on channel seven at seven it's on the news, yeah

A father gave his life to save his baby girl and wife

Every poor old man, oh man he didn't have a clue

[Chorus]

So why don't we cry when we see people dying?

Not a tear that act like I'm not even trying

There's so much more to this temporary life

One day yall gonna understand and say why, why, why

[Post-Chorus]

Oh, oh, woah, oh

Oh, oh, woah, oh

Oh, oh, woah, oh

Oh, oh, woah, oh

One, two, three

[Chorus]

So why don't we cry when we see people dying?

Not a tear that act like I'm not even trying

There's so much more to this temporary life

One day you'll understand and say why, why, why

[Verse 3]

Yo, that's not the real me

I pray one day that the world will feel me

I pray I change before it kills me

This livin' in my life in filthy

I hope I never become so blind

Sold my Christ for a temporary high

Some of my friends ain't got the time

'Cause time got me, can't sacrifice things

They ruin my days

Can't go on without a change

Need your love, need your grace

Need your face to remind me I need to be, to beat the battle

I could've seen the scene I never thought I could've seen

I want to be the never seen even though it's all seen

All the sin is on me, everybody so obscene

Got me feeling still wondering why
