one deed, one great deed
can make up for the pain
one heart, one loving heart
can end the suffering
one deed, like sun
can put an end to rain
one deed, one great, great deed
tell me why, tell me why
theres suffering
tell me why
there must be pain at all
tell me why, tell me why
weve never found the cure
some days are diamonds, so many are stone
the door of love is open, but you always stayed home
(chorus)
tell me why, tell me why
im so afraid
tell me why
were together and alone
tell me why, tell me why
we give up hope
looking for the answer on a cardboard box
digging for a fortune in a pile of rocks
(chorus)
love is like an island that weve got to swim to
were treading in tomorrow while we try to make due
passing by the others as were looking inside
were never gonna see it if were looking behind
(chorus
