When did living get so hard to be a part of
When did the greed and hatred gain control
The heavy air I'm breathing
Is it worth it
Do I really want to live where evil grows
~~~*Chorus*~~~
Ask me why...
Ask me why I want to be here
Witness my country's plight
Ask me why...
Why I've always felt the need to
Rise up, and make things right
Ask me why..
I'll tell you
It's worth it
It's worth the fight
~~*~~
When did living get so hard to be a part of
When did the people's voices lose their lust
The heavy air I'm breathing
Is it worth it
Do I really want to live where there's no trust
~~~*Lyrical Bridge*~~~
I want to be here
Even though...
what I see and know...
Is unjust, a discrace
Ask me why...
Why I care about the trampled
And their fate...
Ask me why....
Why do I struggle for what's right...
Because victims need the strength
And it's so worth the fight
~~*~~
~~~*Chorus*~~~
Ask me why...
Ask me why I want to be here
Witness my country's plight
Ask me why...
Why I've always felt the need to
Rise up, and make things right
Ask me why..
I'll tell you
It's worth it
It's worth the fight
~~*~~
