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)
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, saying

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)
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

Why, why, why
Does it go this way?
And why, why, why?
And all I can say is
All I know to say now

Somewhere down the road (there'll be answers to the questions)
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
