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
Why, why, why
And all I can say is

R: 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

R:

Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Oh, keep on walkin' now
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh

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

R:

Oh, they will hold the answers at the end of the road
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Oh, keep on walkin' now
Ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh walkin' down the road
Walkin' down the road
Somewhere down this lonely road
Can't see it now
Down the lonely road
Somewhere down the lonely road
