Lyrics to A Million Reasons Why

Lyrics to the song A Million Reasons Why as recorded by Phil Manzanera.

Words & Music By Tim Finn, Gary Dyson & Phil Manzanera

We're Living in a world of sorrow
Some people have no tomorrow
Singing songs of there betrayal

It's easy to ignore the children
Who don't know why they're made a victim
It seems we've lost their holy grail

You've heard the cry, you've heard the call
You can't ignore the secret war
You'd better think about it
There's more than a million reasons why

Can't feed the world on greed and power
Dictators changing by the hour
A voice of freedom goes to jail

The politicians feed corruption
As people disappear by the gun
It's up to us to tell the tail

You've heard the cry, you've heard the call
You can't ignore the secret war
You'd better think about it
There's more than a million reasons why

They can't return, they can't return
You've dropped your bombs and sell your arms
When will you return
There's more than a million reasons why
