I'm sending you heavy love
From my corner of this haunting tragedy
I would call but I cannot talk
But I know that you hear me
I'm putting my muscles to work
Filling big buckets of water and loading them up
We'll drive out to the edges of the town
And hand them off and wish everybody luck
Why
Why
Why
Me and my friends we're okay by and large
Most of us are eating together tonight
A roof over our heads and love in our hearts
But some of us have passed the torch of life
Why
Why
Why
I am doing the best I can
And so are you and so is everyone
I know that no matter what we do
We cannot fix what happened to us
Why
Why
Why
Why
Why
Why
We don't know
Let's try to sleep
Let's wake tomorrow
And feed the sheep
We don't know
But let's keep going
Build what we can
Clean what's been broken
