Intro: Why plant a seed deep in the ground Why why why Why put a stone on a grave in town Why why why Tell me, tell me, tell me Tell me why it's so Tell me, tell me, tell me Tell me so I'll know Why does a wedding ring have the hardest stone Why why why Why does a little dog bury its bone Why why why So the river will not drown it So the highway won't take it And the dust will not cover it And the sun will not blind it And the wind won't blow it away Why put a song bird in a cage Why write i love you on every page Tell me why it's so Tell me, tell me, tell me Tell me so I'll know Why does a bird build its nest so high Why hold a baby when a baby cries So the river will not drown it So the highway won't take it And the dust will not cover it And the sun will not blind it And the wind won't blow it away So the river will not drown it So the highway won't take it And the dust will not cover it And the sun will not blind it And the wind won't blow it away
