Nicol Williamson – Why? Lyrics
Artist: Nicol Williamson
Song: Why?
A little boy sits on his father’s lap
And his eyes shine more and more
As his father tells him what it was like
When the Roses were at war
All England was in turmoil then
For bad King Richard reigned
And the people rose against him
For God had so ordained
And the little boy’s father led them
And his forces won the day
Kind Richard died in battle
But his crown had rolled away
And they searched the field of battle
Until the crown was found
They found it on a hawthorn branch
And a brand new king was crownеd
So the little boy grew as thе son of the king
And no one denied him anything
And he spent his days in mindless play
For he knew that his brother would reign one day
But when he was twelve, his brother died
And he was betrothed to his brother’s bride
And six years later, the king was dead
And his son felt the weight of the crown on his head
And he married his brother’s former bride
And he had four sons and all of them died
He divorced his wife and again he wed
And he had two sons, both born dead
And now he sits and wonders why
God raised his father up so high
Since Father was crowned the king, O Lord
Only fifty years have passed
Why make him a king, the first Tudor king
And make his son the last?
Why let it end with me, O Lord?
Is it all to end with me, O Lord?
Why, why, why?
