So much pain and no good reason why
You've cried until the tears run dry
And nothing here can make you understand
The one thing that you held so dear
Is slipping from your hands, and you say
Why, why, why
Does it go this way?
And why, why, why?
And all I can say
Is somewhere down the road
There'll be answers to the questions
And somewhere down the road
Though we cannot see it now
Somewhere down the road
You will find mighty arms reaching for you
And they will hold the answers
At the end of the road
Yesterday, I thought I'd seen it all
I thought I'd climbed the highest wall
Now I see the learning never ends
And all I know to do is keep on walking
Walking 'round the bend, singing
Why, why, why
Does it go this way?
And why, why, why?
And all I can say
Is somewhere down the road
There'll be answers to the questions
And somewhere down the road
Though we cannot see it now
Somewhere down the road
You will find mighty arms reaching for you
And they will hold the answers
At the end of the road
Oh, keep on walking
Why, why, why
Does it go this way?
And why, why, why?
And all I can say
All I know to say now
Somewhere down the road
There'll be answers to the questions
And somewhere down the road
Though we cannot see it now
Somewhere down the road
You will find mighty arms reaching for you
And they will hold the answers
At the end of the road
Oh, they will hold the answers
At the end of the road
Oh, keep on walking, oh
Oh, walking down the road
Walking down the road
Somewhere down this lonely road
I can't see you know
Down the road, the lonely road
Somewhere down, somewhere down the road
