THE
REASONS WHY
I've been talking to some people
about places and the dreams they've been in
and the knowing of their answers
gives me the strength to go on again
we walked down roads that were many
cried tears of sorrow tears of joy
we questioned all the tomorrows
never finding reasons why
I spoke to a young man eager to get into a boat
he didn't care as long as he was fishin' and still afloat
I was talking to a fisherman who heard the news and just got in
when he saw his first born through the glass he was soaked right through the
skin
I heard a factory worker say
I'm going back maybe some day
I'll have a boat and nets to mend
when the fishery comes back again
I was talking to an old man just today
as I spoke I heard some one say
look over there thats that old man
and he is talking to himself again
