letra de oh lord, why lord - brook benton

[verse 1]
i’ve searched the open sky
to find the reason why
oh lord, why, why lord?
the color of my skin
is said to be an awful sin
oh lord, why, why lord?
why lord, why lord?
no, i can not understand
no, i’ll never understand
oh lord, why, why lord?
i’ve got to live and live
and give much more
than i can give
oh lord (oh lord)
why, why lord? (why lord?)
lord, in this world
you made so sacred
i only find problems
and hatred, oh, oh
oh lord (oh lord)
why, why, why
why lord? (why lord?)
i just can’t seem to find
any place, my every move
is unsafe (oh lord)
[chrous]
oh lord, why, why lord? (why lord?)
tell me, why lord? (oh lord)
why lord? (why lord?)
oh lord, why lord?
why lord, why lord? (why lord?)

[verse 2]
why this long and bitter strife
must go on for equal rights?
why can’t there be some harmony
instead of constant agony? (why lord?)
i just can’t help but cry
for the tears won’t
stay inside, lord (why lord?)
why lord, why lord? (why lord?)
why lord? i feel the weight
of everlasting hate
yet, i live with hope
and little faith, lord
why lord, why lord? (why lord?)
i weight the change
but nothing ever seems
to change (why lord?)
why lord, why lord? (why lord?)
why?
[interlude]
i ask no special kindness
i ask not for a crown
i only for some justice lord
to restore what’s right from wrong
why lord, why lord?
why lord, why lord? (oh lord, why lord?)

[outro]
so now, you’ve heard
my sabbath, lord
in a story and song
now, tell me why lord? (oh lord, oh, yeah)
oh lord (why lord?)
i don’t ask for a kingdom to rule, lord
justice is only one man’s tool
yes, lord, why lord? (why lord?)
why lord, why lord? (why lord?)
