Mother, Father Dave Matthews Band (Ft. Carlos Santana)

Mother Father please explain to me
Why a world so full of mystery
A place so bitter and still so sweet
So beautiful and yet so full of sad sad

Mother Father please explain to me
Why forests march to deserts be
While snow capped mountains melt away
What do we tell our babies
What do we say

Mother father please explain to me
How a man who rocks his child to sleep
Yet pulls the trigger on his brother’s heart
He digs a hole right to the middle of a storm of hatred

Mother Father please explain to me
How it could be so this world has come to be
A precious balance in between
Such cruelty and such kindness please
Please

Mother Father please explain to me
How this world has come to be
Unequalled in her blessings oh I see
Unbridled hatred so extreme please tell me
