[Verse 1]
So much pain and no good reason why
You've cried until the tears run dry
And nothing here can make you understand
The one thing that you held so dear is slipping from your hands
And you say

[Chorus]
Why, why, why
Does it go this way?
And why, why, why?
And all I can say
Is somewhere down the road
There'll be answers to the questions
And somewhere down the road
Though we can not see it now
Somewhere down the road
You will find mighty arms reaching for you
And they will hold the answers at the end of the road

[Verse 2]
Yesterday I thought I'd seen it all
I thought I'd climbеd the highest wall
And now I see that learning nеver ends
And all I know to do is keep on walking, walking 'round the bend
Sayin'
[Chorus]
Why, why, why
Does it go this way?
And why, why, why?
And all I can say
Is somewhere down the road
There'll be answers to the questions
And somewhere down the road
Though we can not see it now
Somewhere down the road
You will find mighty arms reaching for you
And they will hold the answers at the end of the road

[Post-Chorus]
Oh, keep on walking now

[Chorus]
Why, why, why
Does it go this way?
And why, why, why?
And all I can say
All I know to say now
Is somewhere down the road
There'll be answers to the questions
And somewhere down the road
Though we can not see it now
Somewhere down the road
You will find mighty arms reaching for you
And they will hold the answers at the end of the road
[Outro]
Oh, they will hold the answers at the end of the road
Oh, keep on walking now, oh
Oh, walking down the road
Walking down the road
Somewhere down this lonely road, can't see it now
Down the road and on and on, somewhere down the road, somewhere down the road
Oh, keep on walking now, child
Somewhere down this lonely road
