The Nigerian Diplomat

Tell me how many women childhood dreams come to pass?
Tell me how many movies turn out real?
There are so many questions
Questions I’ll like to ask
So you can understand exactly how I feel

Tell me how many people wish they were someone else?
Someone they think the world wants them to be
Tell me how many babies will be born just to die?
Leaving me with these questions
Asking why

Tell me how do trees whisper?
How do birds learn to sing?
And how does the rainbow stay the same?
How do bees make their honey?
How do they learn to sting?
Can a broken heart get back to heal again?

How do people get so busy they don’t find time to love?
What’s the truth behind why people go to war?
Why is there so much religion yet there’s so little love?
Will I ever get to know the truth some day?

Where’s the youth who’s gonna dare – where’s the elder who really cares?
Why do people believe things they know aren’t true?
When you look into the mirror who do you see?
Why do we have to grow to be wise?
