Although I have actually written well over 100-Songs; since I have never had any ability to sing, or play an instrument; I have never been able to do anything with them. I had always hoped someday to find someone who could sing, that would find these interesting enough to form a collaboration.
Just so you know: I have not only have written the Lyrics to this, I ALSO HAVE A MELODY IN MY HEAD TO GO ALONG WITH IT. The same is true for the all of the other songs, I have written. (I EVEN HAVE A DRUM BEAT IN MY HEAD TO GO ALONG WITH EVERY SONG I'VE WRITTEN)
THIS , IS MERELY ONE OF HUNDREDS, THAT I HAVE DONE OVER THE YEARS!!
Song: Entitled “WHY?” Written By Stephen W. Bushelman
Why is there so much misery and suffering today
Why can’t we learn to accept each for who we are
Life’s so short; yet the future seems so very far away,
But if we tried, the world would be happier by far
Why try and destroy what’s different when we have so much to gain
Don’t we know everything has a purpose in this life, like sunshine and rain
We hurt others for their Color, Age, Religion and it’s done to us
Let wisdom in, and I swear our lives will be harmonious
___________________________________________________________________________
Chorus
You know we all look down on those less fortunate, while feigning sympathy and saying grace
Yet we also despise those above us, while wishing we could only take their place
The human heart just can not be satisfied, no matter what good fortune comes our way
That’s why we always go through life with blinders, yet wishing we could find a better day
____________________________________________________
Why does the sun shine equally on us all, while we abuse the weak and the small?
Why do the stars appear for everyone, yet others we still shun?
By what rights do we assume supremacy, over one and all?
Why can’t we see what’s given is meant for everyone
An Orchestra, contains many instruments, all vital yet different
Together they forms music to the ear, while beauty - the mind to see
The same is true of the Human race, all vital yet different,
And if we work together as one, happiness will surely be
____________________________________________________________________________
Back to the Chorus
You know we all look down on those less fortunate, while feigning sympathy and saying grace
Yet we also despise those above us, while wishing we could only take their place
The human heart just can not be satisfied, no matter what good fortune comes our way
That’s why we always go through life with blinders, yet wishing we could find a better day
____________________________________________________
For aren’t we, brothers and sisters one and all, whether great or small
Does anyone truly believe, wealth is given just for greed
When we die, do we want a legacy of living well, while ignoring those who call?
While we live, is our only chance to help others in great need.
How many must live and die in misery before we awake
How much suffering, must there really be, before we say no more
When will pride and arrogance be left behind, helping those we now forsake?
For only then will true happiness, come knocking at our door
____________________________________________________
End song by repeating chorus several times slowly fading out:
You know we all look down on those less fortunate, while feigning sympathy and saying grace
Yet we also despise those above us, while wishing we could only
take their place
The human heart just can not be satisfied, no matter what good fortune comes our way
That’s why we always go through life with blinders, yet wishing
we could find a better day
