Tell me why
i can feel it so clearly
i wanna know why
wanna solve the mystery
will you help me find the key

that will open up the final lock
put an end to this race against the clock
we can find it
we can find it

if you'd only
tell me why
i still hold you so dearly
wanna solve this mystery
won't you help me find the key

that'll open all the secret doors
reveal all of our secret flaws
traveling with the tumbleweed
a voice is calling out in need
can you hear it
i can hear it
it's telling you to

hold on
a little longer
it sure takes time
to grow stronger
hold on
with all of your might
it takes a little darkness
to enjoy the light

tell me why
it still feels like you're right next to me
i wanna know why
wanna solve this mystery
won't you lead me to the key

that'll open up the gate ahead
never leave us without our daily bread
take back all the things we said
so we can write a brand new page instead
let them read it
let them read it

deep within the wishing well
a voice is calling out for help
can you hear it
open up and i'm sure you'll hear it
you will hear it
it's telling us to

hold on
a little longer
it sure takes time
to grow stronger
hold on
to what you know is right
it takes a little darkness
to enjoy the light

tell me why
tell me why
tell me why
tell me why
