Why?

If you've ever wanted to know what it's like
To lose everything you've wanted
Ask the girl next door
Knowing such pain, you'd feel haunted
If you've ever felt
Like nothing could go wrong
Ask the boy who risked it all
Just to take a hit from the bong
If you've ever had to justify your reasons
And you speculated a lie
Ask the man on death row
It will have you guessing why
Why do we always risk our lives
For things that are wrong
When we could help those
Who have been waiting so long?
