The Who, The What, The Why, The Where Lyrics

What in the world were we put here for

What's the story what's the score

Where do we go when we're no more

Who's gonna tell me what's in store

All the prittle and the prattle and the chitter and the chat

Say redemption lies at the end of the track

Or does It boil down to the simple fact

That we live then we die and we're gone that's that

The who the what the why the where

The questions left hanging in thin air

Is anybody out there left who cares

About the who the what the why and the where

Tell me how far east is west

Are good and evil real or jest

Are we living in a dream some divine test

Saint or sinner cursed or blessed

Do you know who's who can you tell what's what

Do you know what is do you know what's not

Do you know how many breaths you've got

'Till you draw your last and you've had your lot

And when I die be it young or old

Before my soul to the devil is sold

Before the devil has claimed my soul

At the gates of heaven will I be told

Come in you're welcome join to the fold

When they open the gates and they let me in

Will I dance with the angels on the head of a pin

And play my harp with a saintly grin

As my eternal life begins

And when the sands of time have run

When all things are said and done

What's left to say to do to come

Will time stand still will the race be run

And why does time like a river flow

In one direction fast or slow

Where did it start where does it go

I'll ask the wind perhaps it knows

The who the what the why the where

All questions left hanging in thin air

Is there anybody out there left who cares

About the who the what the why and the where
