WHY? Words and music by Randy Peterson

Why can’t I see the air?

Why do our heads have hair?

Why is the ocean beach so sandy?

Oh, could’ ya tell me now

Why do we have to sleep?

Why do sweaters come from sheep?

Why do I have to share my candy?

These are things I need to know right now.

I need to know the who and where and how.

So mom and dad could ya’ help me please

as much as time allows.

‘Cause these are things I need to know right now.

Why can’t I touch the stars?

Why can’t we live on mars?

Why do honey bees make honey?

Oh, could’ ya tell me now

Why do bunnies have soft fur?

Why does a kitten purr?

Why is’nt Sunday always sunny?

Chorus

Each new thing I see, my curiosity gets me thinkin’ and I begin to wonder.

Believe me when I said, those questions in my head really need an answer!

Could you try? Please try, oh...

 

Why does an airplane fly?

Why do clouds stay in the sky?

Why are yellow flowers on the lawn now?

Oh, could’ ya tell me now,

Why do we have to eat?

Why do we wear shoes on feet?

Why are the dinosaurs all gone now?

Chorus

‘Cause these are things I need to know.

These are things I just gotta know.

These are things I need to know right now.
