Wherefore & Why

When I woke this mornin', something inside of me

Told me this would be my day

I heard the mornin' train, I felt the wind change

Too many times I'm on my way

Come on sunshine, what can you show me

Where can you take me to make me understand

The wind can shake me, brothers, forsake me

The rain can touch me but can I touch the rain

Then I saw the sunrise above the cotton sky

Like a candy cane delight

I saw the milkman, I saw the business man

I saw the only road in sight

Then I got to thinkin' what makes you want to go

To know the wherefore and the why

So many times now, oh Lord, I can't remember

If it's September or July

Come on sunshine, what can you show me

Where can you take me to make me understand

The wind can shake me, brothers, forsake me

The rain can touch me but can I touch the rain

Then all at once it came to me, I saw the wherefore

And you can see it if you try

It's in the sun above, it's in the one you love

You'll never know the reason why

Come on sunshine, what can you show me

Where can you take me to make me understand

The wind can shake me, brothers, forsake me

The rain can touch me but can I touch the rain

So much to lose, so much to gain
