Times like these
Oh man it makes me miss Woodland St
And honestly, I hope there's someone watching over me
Cause I wanna cry when I hear the news
I wanna rock but I feel the blues
Tell me what the world is coming to

Oh can you tell me why the good die young
Oh can you tell me why we need more guns
Oh can you tell me why people do such evil
Oh can you tell me where the rainbow ends
I could use a little help my friend
I've got 21 questions for heaven

Raised up right
I lost my faith, but I still pray at night
When I close my eyes
I don't hear nothing but the cars outside
Momma said there'd be days like these
Momma don't know how hard it is
And I don't really know what I'ma do

Oh can you tell me why the good die young
Oh can you tell me why we need more guns
Oh can you tell me why people do such evil
Oh can you tell me where the rainbow ends
I could use a little help my friend
I've got 21 questions for heaven

Don't know where to begin
Why do you keep us wondering
Maybe we are not supposed to know

Oh if you told me would they still die young
Oh if you told me would we need more guns
Oh if you told me would people still do evil
Oh guess I'll meet you where the rainbow ends
If you're gonna make me wait till then
I'll have 21 questions for heaven
