This brings light to a face These are the beats you can't deny Have you ever been into a place? Slowly close your lips These are the ones that I live for The ones that I will live for Tell me why Are we not back in the game? Illeana, go and grab my hand again In your eyes, a light and smile I do not understand Though I try Blue sky over head and the black creepin' in Whoa This is where I'll dig in my heals This is where I'll make my stand Oh, tell me why Are we not back in the game? Tell me why, oh Lord why? That is all I'll ever say All I'll ever say (Are they heard? Are they seen? Are they heard?) Old man, go and put your jar away Do you not speak, see or feel as the watch and as they play? Little hands, little eyes And their feet slowly marching on Tell me you have heard Tell me you have heard Tell me you have heard this song Why are we not back in the game? Tell me why, oh Lord why? That is all I'll ever say Tell me why, oh Lord why? Are we not back in the game? Oh Bring them love, bring them light, bring them melody
