Chorus:
WHY DO WE DIVE INTO THE NIGHT?
CRY FOR THOSE WHO DIE?
THEN FLY INTO THE LIGHT?
I JUST WONDER
WHY DO WE DIVE INTO THE NIGHT?
CRY FOR THOSE WHO DIE?
THEN FLY INTO THE LIGHT?
I JUST WONDER WHY

Verse One:
WHY WHEN I GET UP
I GET PUSHED BACK DOWN?
WHY WHEN I SPEAK
YOU DON’T HEAR ONE SOUND?
WHY WHEN I’M LOST
SOMEONE ELSE GETS FOUND?
I GOT SO MANY QUESTIONS
AND I WANNA KNOW NOW
WHY WAS MY FATHER NEVER AROUND?
WHY WAS MY MOTHER NEVER CROWNED?
WHY WAS I LEFT AT SCHOOL AND FORGOTTEN?
I’M A PROBLEM LIKE ALL OF US
WHO CAME FROM THE BOTTOM
WHY DO I HATE SCHOOL
BUT WANNA BE A TEACHER?
PROBABLY ‘CAUSE I WANNA INPSIRE YOU TO BE A LEADER
CHANGE COME WITHIN
TIME TO FIND YOUR INNER PREACHER
MY WORDS GET DEEPER
LIKE A CUT FROM A CLEAVER
WHY’S THE GOVERNMENT GOTTA LIE TO THE PEOPLE?
I THOUGHT THIS IS THE COUNTRY
WHERE WE ALL CREATED EQUAL?
WHY DO I FEEL LIKE MEDICINE’S REALLY LETHAL?
WHY DO I FEEL LIKE THIS WORLD’S GOT ME CRIPPLED?

Chorus:
WHY DO WE DIVE INTO THE NIGHT?
CRY FOR THOSE WHO DIE?
THEN FLY INTO THE LIGHT?
I JUST WONDER
WHY DO WE DIVE INTO THE NIGHT?
CRY FOR THOSE WHO DIE?
THEN FLY INTO THE LIGHT?
I JUST WONDER WHY

Verse Two:
WHY DO I HAVE A HARD TIME SHOWIN’ LOVE?
YOU CAN BLAME IT ON THE GIRLS
YOU CAN BLAME IT ON THE DRUGS
WHY DO I HAVE A HARD TIME GIVIN’ TRUST?
CAUSE I WAS YOUNG WHEN I HAD MY HEART CRUSHED
PLUS
I’VE HAD ENOUGH
YOUR BLUFF MADE ME TOUGH
WE ALL HAD IT ROUGH
I’M JUST TRYIN’ TO SPEAK UP
WE ALL KNOW ABOUT THAT FEELING IN YOUR GUT
WHEN LIFE SUCKS
BUT YOU CAN GIVE UP
WHY FOR SO LONG
I FELT SO ASHAMED?
PROBABLY CAUSE MY CHILDHOOD
WAS SPENT IN THE GAME
WHY FOR SO LONG I STILL FEEL THE PAIN?
MAYBE I NEVER REALLY GOT OUT THE RAIN
EVERYTHING HAPPENS FOR A REASON
BELIEVE THAT
GOOD OR BAD
YOU GOTTA STAY ON TRACK
I AIN’T GOIN’ BACK
TO FLIPPIN’ PACKS FOR MY STACKS
I AIN’T GONNA BE TRAPPED
BEST BELIEVE I WILL ADAPT
YEAH

Chorus:
WHY DO WE DIVE INTO THE NIGHT?
CRY FOR THOSE WHO DIE?
THEN FLY INTO THE LIGHT?
I JUST WONDER
WHY DO WE DIVE INTO THE NIGHT?
CRY FOR THOSE WHO DIE?
THEN FLY INTO THE LIGHT?
I JUST WONDER WHY

Verse Three:
I’M ASKIN’ WHY
WHEN PEOPLE DIE
EVERYBODY’S SO NICE?
WHEN THE PERSON WAS ALIVE
SEEMS YOU NEVER HAD THE TIME
TO PARTICIPATE
OR ANTICIPATE
IN THESE DEBATES
IN THE LIFE OF A FRIEND
AT THE END OF MYSPACE
GOT YOU THINKIN’
FOR A REASON
HOW YOU NEVER
GOT TO SEE HIM
SAID GOODBYE
IN YOUR MIND
BUT YOU NEVER THOUGHT TWICE
WAS HE WRONG ABOUT YOUR LIFE?
WANNA-BE THUG AND GANGSTA
NOW YOUR FRIEND IS DEAD
AND YOU’RE WISHIN’
YOU COULD THANK HIM
EVERYTHING WAS TRUTHFUL
THE BLAME WAS ON YOU
YOU KNOW THE WORDS
WOULD COME OUT HURTFUL
BUT STILL IT’S THE TRUTH
WE COULD GO BACK AND FORTH
LIKE CONFEDERATE NORTH
VERSUS SOUTH
WE WOULD ALWAYS VOTE THEM IN
BUT WE NEVER VOTE THEM OUT
PUT A BANDAID ON THE CRUTCH
SAY GOOD LUCK
NICE TOUCH
IN THE BELLY OF THE BEAST
AND IT SEEMS SO MUCH
LIVIN’ IN THE BACK SEAT
IN THE LAND OF THE FREE
IN THE HOME OF THE DRONES
IN ANOTHER WAR ZONE

Chorus:
WHY DO WE DIVE INTO THE NIGHT?
CRY FOR THOSE WHO DIE?
THEN FLY INTO THE LIGHT?
I JUST WONDER
WHY DO WE DIVE INTO THE NIGHT?
CRY FOR THOSE WHO DIE?
THEN FLY INTO THE LIGHT?
I JUST WONDER WHY
