Lyrics to Tell Me

Why plant a seed deep in the ground?

Why, why, why, why, why put a stone on a grave in town?

Why, why, why, why

Tell me, tell me, tell me, tell me why it's so

Tell me, tell me, tell me, tell me so I'll know

Why does a wedding ring have the hardest stone?

Why, why, why, why, why does a little dog bury it's bone?

Why, why, why, why

So the river will not drown it

And the highway won't take it

And the dust will not cover it

And the Sun will not blind it

And the wind won't blow it away

Why put a song bird in a cage?

Why, why, why, why, why write, “I love you” on every page?

Why, why, why, why

Tell me, tell me, tell me, tell me why it's so

Tell me, tell me, tell me, tell me so I'll know

Why does a bird build it's nest so high?

Why, why, why, why, why hold the baby when the baby cries?

Why, why, why, why

So the river will not drown it

And the highway won't take it

And the dust will not cover it

And the Sun will not blind it

And the wind won't blow it away

So the river will not drown it

And the highway won't take it

And the dust will not cover it

And the Sun will not blind it

And the wind won't blow it away
