Reason Why
Unveiling Life's Cruel Paradox: The Reason Why
Lyrics
You look for a reason, there is no reason why
You search for a reason, but there is no logical explanation
Nothing's ever simple when a little kid dies
Things become complicated when a young child passes away
The people search themselves to try & understand
People introspect to comprehend and make sense of the situation
Gun in a child's hands is death in the end
A firearm in the hands of a child leads to death eventually
Add it up, struggle to get by
Calculate the hardships, strive to survive
Had enough, there is no reason why
Reached a breaking point, and there's no discernible cause
Pointing fingers won't ease the pain
Assigning blame doesn't alleviate the suffering
And really whose to blame
Uncertain who is at fault
They seemed like nice boys
Initially perceived as good individuals
The neighbours always say
Neighbors often express this sentiment
No one ever had a clue
No one had an inkling about the tragic outcome
Life turns out this way
Life takes unexpected turns
It's easy to second guess
Easily questioning decisions in hindsight
The parents & the schools
Blaming parents and schools
Listen to the hollow cries
Hearing empty cries of sorrow
Now we need more rules
Now advocating for more regulations
Add it up, struggle to get by
Summing up difficulties, striving to survive
Had enough, there is no reason why
Reached a breaking point, and there's no discernible cause
Pointing fingers won't ease the pain
Assigning blame doesn't alleviate the suffering
And really whose to blame
Uncertain who is at fault
Is it all they know, listen
Questioning if this is the only reality they know
How could children be so cruel?
Expressing disbelief at the cruelty of children
No respect for our rules
No regard for societal rules
Of God & Country & the schools
Mentioning disrespect for God, country, and educational institutions
NRA says owning guns is an American tradition
NRA claims gun ownership is an American tradition
One that they keep alive by buying politicians
Insinuating that politicians are influenced by gun lobbyists
Are we so stupid, or just desensitized
Questioning if society is either foolish or emotionally numb
With a gun anyone can kill we're all equalized
With a gun, anyone can cause harm, making us all equal in vulnerability
Add it up, struggle to get by
Summing up difficulties, striving to survive
Had enough, there is no reason why
Reached a breaking point, and there's no discernible cause
Pointing fingers won't ease the pain
Assigning blame doesn't alleviate the suffering
And really whose to blame
Uncertain who is at fault
But it's all they know
This is the only reality they are familiar with
