Oh oh

Hmm hmm

I often wonder what I'm doin' here

There must be a reason but it's not always clear

Why was I born what's my purpose in life Mmm

There is an answer to my question why

Well well well

I wonder why we can't love and be free

Let everyone be all that they wanna be

Judge not lest you be judge let heaven decide

Still we don't do it oh I wonder why

I know I'm not perfect but nobody is

There's things more important that are topping my list

Acceptance and kindness and doin' what's right

We would if we could whoa why don't we try

I wonder why we can't just love and be free

Let everyone be all that they wanna be

Judge not lest we be judge let heaven decide

Still we don't do it I wonder why

I wonder why we can't just speak out and say

I see you my brother and I love you that way

Just be as you are with purpose and pride

'Cause God loves us all and I bet he wonders why

We can't love one another and know where we are

Why we are blinded from seeing that far Ah hah

Let's light the fire spread love with the light

We're walkin' in darkness no good reason why

I wonder why we can't just let them be free

Let everyone be all that they wanna be

My brothers my sisters come walk by my side

Oh I will if you will oh why don't we try

You know love is the answer to my question why

Still we don't do it and I wonder why
