    This sixty something year old, somewhat hardened to it all, retired US ARMY combat veteran is moved to tears by your your song of questions and this accompanying video. No life of any species deserves a DEATH SENTENCE for doing absolutely nothing wrong. The question 'Why' is a truly pertinent one. But I hope and I pray as always that these things will NEVER cause us to lose our Faith, our Trust and our Love in and for Almighty God. Because it is from Him that mercy, cures, compassion and Hope for a better day will surely come. 😍 🥰

    How many times do I have to try to tell you
    That I'm sorry for the things I've done
    But when I start to try to tell you
    That's when you have to tell me
    Hey, this kind of trouble's only just begun
    I tell myself too many times
    Why don't you ever learn to keep your big mouth shut
    That's why it hurts so bad to hear the words
    That keep on falling from your mouth
    Falling from your mouth
    Falling from your mouth
    Tell me
    Why
    Why
    I may be mad
    I may be blind
    I may be viciously unkind
    But I can still read what you're thinking
    And I've heard it said too many times
    That you'd be better off
    Besides
    Why can't you see this boat is sinking
    Let's go down to the water's edge
    And we can cast away those doubts
    Some things are better left unsaid
    But they still turn me inside out
    Turning inside out turning inside out
    Tell me
    Why
    Tell me
    Why
    This is the book I never read
    These are the words I never said
    This is the path I'll never tread
    These are the dreams I'll dream instead
    This is the joy that's seldom spread
    These are the tears
    The tears we shed
    This is the fear
    This is the dread
    These are the contents of my head
    And these are the years that we have spent
    And this is what they represent
    And this is how I feel
    Do you know how I feel?
    'Cause I don't think you know how I feel
    I don't think you know what I feel
    I don't think you know what I feel
    You don't know what I feel

    One the best artists to do live performances. To me it's like Pearl jam's pink pop or Linkin park's rolling. for guitar inclined people Roy buchanan's hey joe. Or 30s to mars on BBC with "stay".
    Absolutely astounding.
