Lyrics: Gilbert Montagné. Why.

I sit around and ask myself
Why do children come of age
Why are the toys put in a cage
Why do men no longer play
Must these be the codes of our world today

Can?t we find the answers in ourselves
I wonder what it would be like
If children code would govern all our lives

We all know when children play
They have silly simple games
But when they?re adults, they won?t say
I?ll be the bad guy and you the good
Seems equality is lost in childhood

Won?t you have a look at my ideas and see how things are very clear
And then you will know that we should not grow old

When we?re young we understand
That a feeling here inside
Is something that we shouldn?t hide
One day we fight , next day we?re friends
Why can?t adults simply learn to make a man
Gilbert Montagné
