How in this world
can we put a man on the moon
and still have a need
for a place like St Jude's
And why is one man born
in a place where
all they know is war
A guy like me
has always been free

And how can two people
who built a loving home
tried for years and never
have a child of their own
when somewhere out there
tonight there's a baby
no one's holding tight
in need of love
To me, that don't add up

But I wasn't there the day
you filled up the ocean
I didn't get to see you
hang the stars in the sky
So I don't mean
to second guess you
or criticize what I
don't understand
These are just a few
questions I have

And why did my cousin
have to die in that crash
A good kid only seventeen
I still wonder bout that
It seems unfair to me
Some get the chance
to chase their dreams
and some don't
What do I know

But I wasn't there the day
you filled up the ocean
I didn't get to see you
hang the stars in the sky
So I don't mean
to second guess you
or criticize what I
don't understand
These are just a few
questions I have

Why do I feel like
you hear these prayers of mine
when so many oughta be
ahead of me in line
When you look down on me
Can you see the good
through all the bad
These are just a few
questions I have
