What happened? I ask
I ask, what happened in the world today?
And that in the paper
I read the same horror news
Lives silenced without a reason

Why is it that there is so much war?
Why is it that there is so much sorrow?
Why is it? why is it? I ask

Why is it? I ask
I ask, why is it that there's no love
And that instead of hugging
We shot one another
And forget about love?

Why is it that there is so much war?
Why is it that there is so much sorrow?
Why is it? why is it? I ask

People are killing each other
And people are dying
And I'm still here not able to understand

What is happening to the world that is so horrible?
What is happening? I ask, what is happening? I ask
I ask, what is happening today with the world
That it's so absurd and sullen?
What is happening that nothing good happens
And peace never comes around here?
What is happening that only war comes over?
What is happening? I ask

People are killing each other
And people are dying
And I'm still here not able to understand

What is happening to the world that is so horrible?
What is happening? I ask, what is happening? I ask
I ask, what is happening today with the world
That it's so absurd and sullen?
What is happening that nothing good happens
And peace never comes around here?
What is happening that only war comes over?
What is happening? I ask

What is happening to the world that is so horrible?
What is happening? I ask, what is happening? I ask
I ask, what is happening today with the world
That it's so absurd and sullen?
What is happening that nothing good happens
And peace never comes around here?
What is happening that only war comes over?
What is happening? I ask
