How Can It Be - Bobby Womack

Ooh, what’s going on?

What’s going on?

Ooh, I’ve red a story in the paper the other day

About a man that took his own life

And had to take the children down with him

In the broad daylight

Is there something we could have done?

The silence has gone

And all the TV reporters came

To get the news and to find out his name

Just to tell that right story on the six o’clock news

Tell me who’s to blame for giving him his moment of fame

How can it be

We hear aloud his voice

How can it be

True heroes in the world never get what they deserve

How can it be?

My father told me if I study heard and believe in God

Oh, I’ll make it someday

And every, every, every thing that come easy in life

Has got to soon fade away

Please, don’t tell me he was wrong

Now that he’s gone, ooh

Ooh, I tried to teach my children right from wrong

Good from bad and tell them no lies

But they just looked at them window into the street

And it’s hard to hide what’s going on in front of their eyes

How can it be

We hear aloud his voice

How, how can it be

True heroes in the world never, never, never get what they deserve

In who can the children look up to?

Oh

How can it be

We hear aloud his voice, I got to say it sometime

How can it be

True heroes in the world never, never, never get what they deserve

How can it be, how can it be, how, how, how

(We hear aloud his voice)

(How can it be) Oh, how, how, how, how, how, how can it be?

How, how can it be, how can it be?

(We hear aloud his voice) Just don’t make sense to me at all
