Guy Sebastian – Anthem Of Why

Joe, lives with his folks at home

Smokes little plants he grows

Cool for a kid

But today is the big 3-0

It seems

All of his hopes and dreams

Got lost in habitual themes

Now he is crying

Tears of what could have been

He is saying “Why oh why

Did my life pass by?”

Could it be that all this time saying, “Why?”

You shoulda said, “How?”

Thirty candles you are blowing

None of which deserves a light

The only music you’ve been playin’

Is the Anthem of Why

Always dreaming, never doing

So they never did take flight

Still the music, that you’re playin’

Is the Anthem of Why

Stacey, dreamt of becoming a pop queen

Suddenly when she turned fifteen

Everything changed

She found out she had one on the way

And so she took all the posters of Britney

Mariah, Beyonce and Whitney

And with her dreams

She threw them all away

She was saying “Why oh why

If not for that night

Could it be that all this time saying, “Why?”

You shoulda said, “How?”

All the hopin’, all the wishin’

Girl, you traded for a night

And the music that you’re playin’

Is the Anthem of Why

Now you’re feelin’, all your dreamin’

Was just a waste of time

So the song that you are singing

Is the Anthem of Why

Always saying “Why oh why

Did my life pass by?”

Could it be that all this time saying, “Why?”

You shoulda said, “How?”

All the hopin’, all the prayin’

No, they never should have died

But they faded, when you traded how

For the Anthem of Why

Gotta dream it, gotta feel it

If you ever wanna fly

Never sing it, never play it

It’s the Anthem of Why
