Why - Kip Winger

He’s the lonely spirit

Chained in empty space

His simple soul is witness

To the sins that I have made

He longs for only innocence

As I close my eye to the truth

That I am he and he is me

And we’ve always been one

Why

We never learn

Why

Only one life

One fight

Only one voice

In the distant night

If only one bridge

What’s the sacrifice

Is forgiveness

Never knowing why

He shakes hands with hatred

Kisses the rose of greed

He prays for salvation

But never feels no regret

Still longing for the innocence

He closed his eyes to the truth

That I am he and he is me

And we’re forever one

Why

We never learn

Why

Only one life

One fight

Only one voice

In the distant night

If only one bridge

What’s the sacrifice

Is forgiveness

Never knowing why

Only One life

One fight

Only one voice

In the distant night

If only one bridge

Can we give love

Never knowing why

Only one pain

One plight

Is forgiveness

Never knowing why
