Pearls Before Swine Tell Me Why
Tell me why
The rain must fall
On all the children of the world
They do not have
Some sunny land
Where white knights
Will take them by the hand
They are born
They live alone for so long
Why can't you leave them alone
Some day they may
Sing your song
And after all
They are so sad and small
You've made them
Orphans in the world
They're in the land
That you forgot
Where only
Hands and eyes are real
Your face is strange
It looks just like rain
We are not as holy as you are
But we are not as cruel
So is this your plan
With our own hands
To be everything
You're not
They are born
They live alone for so long
Why can't you leave them alone
Some day you may
Sing their song
