The end from the beginning,
Tell me, who is winning and how'
What's up and what is down'
What makes this world go around anyhow'
Anyhow, well...

Tell me why we love,
Tell me why we hope,
Show me how to receive,
Give me peace to know,
Give me strength to show,
Give me faith to believe.

What's black and what is white'
Oh, tell me what is wrong and what is right,
Givers and the takers, soldiers and peacemakers have tried,
Got to try, well...

Tell me why we love,
Tell me why we hope,
Show me how to receive,
Give me peace to know,
Give me strength to show,
Give me faith to believe,
Tell me why we love,
Tell me why we hope,
Show me how to receive,
Give me peace to know,
Give me strength to show,
Give me faith to believe.

Tell me why we love,
Tell me why we hope,
Show me how to receive,
Give me peace to know,
Give me strength to show,
Give me faith to believe,
Tell me why we love,
Tell me why we hope,
Show me how to receive,
Give me peace to know,
Give me strength to show,
Give me faith to believe.

Up, down, turn around,
Got to shake it down,
First it'll turn you up and then inside out,
No way to get away,
Try to turn away,
Ain't no way to get it,
I've gotta know right now,
Up, down, turn around,
Shake it, shake it down,
First it'll turn you up and then inside out,
No way to get away,
Try to turn away,
Oh, heaven knows I've gotta know right now.

Tell me why we love,
Tell me why we hope,
Show me how to receive,
Give me peace to know,
Give me strength to show,
Give me faith to believe,
Tell me why we love,
Tell me why we hope,
Show me how to receive,
Give me peace to know,
Give me strength to show,
Give me faith to believe.
