[Verse 1]
Dark nights, no peace in sight
Sirens echo through my life
One by one, they fade away
And I still kneel down and pray
[Pre-Chorus]
Every tear, a memory
Of what they used to mean to me
Hearts break silently
But no one hears my plea
[Chorus]
Tell me why you’re killing my family
Taking their light, stealing our sanity
God, are you watching? Can you hear me cry?
Tell me why… oh, tell me why…
[Drop / Instrumental Hook]
(Deep house synths with echoing vocal sample: “Tell me why… tell me why…")
[Verse 2]
Pictures on the wall, but the frames are cold
Stories left untold
Mothers weep and children fall
Can you hear them call?
[Pre-Chorus]
We built love on broken ground
But now there’s no one left around
Pain is loud but feels so numb
Tell me what we've become
[Chorus]
Tell me why you’re killing my family
Shadows dance in our reality
God, are you listening? Can you see me try?
Tell me why… oh, tell me why…
[Outro]
Tell me why (echo)
Tell me why (reverb)
Still I cry…
Tell me why…
