David D Mansell - How & Why & Who Am I Lyrics

When will I be leaving this womb
For I can hear a commotion in the room
It's so warm inside all curled up tight
But I'm increasingly attracted to the light
To the light

When will I be fully grown and
How on earth am I supposed to be shown
And how I am to be as good as gold
As I come tumbling down into this world

Why will I feel happy and sad
How will I recognize the good from the bad
And from which side will I have to choose
Why when some people win others must lose
Others must lose
How and Why and Who am I

And as I grow stronger and begin to learn to play
The games of children who'll be adults one day
To face the bully boys or to walk away
To reflect upon all of this or fight another day
Or find another way

When will I see a world that's fully grown
When on earth bad seeds have been sown
The good die young so that others live on
No one will ever know who cast the first stone
No one will ever know who cast the first stone
How and why and who am I
