"Questions" lyrics

"Questions"

(Who) Do you think you are to pray to God and take a life?
(What) If they beat you down and treat you like you don't have any rights?
(When) Will you stop killing what was created just to live?
(Where) Are the people who fight and forgive? Do they exist?

(How) Can we make this work if we don't learn to stand as one?
(Why) Do you ask for change when the same ol' thing just gets redone?
(Who) Do you call on now when wisdom just can't be found?
(What) Can I really say when everyone is asking me?

(Questions) How do you love your neighbor if you don't trust your own brother?
(Questions) How do you pray all day, but your home still suffers?
(Questions) How do you love your child, but don't respect your mother?
(Questions) How do I question you but question myself?

(Who) Gonna be the one to take us to the promise land?
(Where) Is the hope my father tried to make me understand?
(When) Will we see that hate divides and separates?
(What) Can I really say when everyone's asking me?

(Questions) How are we growing old yet children die young?
(Questions) How can we stop these killings but allowed to buy guns?
(Questions) How can you act like the man, but can't raise your son?
(Questions) How do I question you but question myself?

I may not have all the answers, but I know when I
Trust in God, he'll work it out
He may not come when you want him, but he's right on time
All good things come, mmm, after a while

(Questions) How do you trust headlines when the words are hidden?
(Questions) How are you happily married but chasing women?
(Questions) How can you be a saint? Last night, you were sinning
(Questions) How do you trust the systems when the crooks run prisons?

(Questions) How do you eat off the tree when you know it's forbidden?
(Questions) How do you whoop your child? When they talk, you don't listen
(Questions) How do you preach a word but still don't live it?
(Questions) Oh, how do I question you but question myself?
