HOOK:
I'm calling out to you
I'm wondering what are we gonna do

I'm still living by the old ways we knew
From the old days riding wild and true


Verse 1 (Adam Dragon)
Sometimes it seems to me
That history is like a mystery

A litany of madness
Turning the pages makes me blistery
My literacy is accurate,

See the great ones like they were back lit
Instead of in the spotlight
Of distortion that they were cast in.


The same I find is true
Of each and every one of us;

Our memory is all we have
But just like iron, turns to rust,
It's faulty and we cannot trust,

Its accuracy is a bust;
The things we once saw clearly
Are now vague like fog and dust.


I wonder why,
I wonder why I did the things I did

And said the things I said
That made you sick
And made you cry.

I wonder why,
why wonder I became the man I did
Kept some friends close to me

And told some other friends goodbye. (x2)

Verse 2 (Adam Dragon)

Yeah things they all change
Until what happened
Flies past like that Ferrari

On the freeway we're passing.
Experience grows blurry
And dissolves til it's absent;

Facts turn to interpretations
And get drained of their passion.


Like hunters in the forest
It's our own past we're tracking,
But we grow lazy with it

Til' we suffer from slacking.
The sands of time they rob us
Like a mafia hijacking,

Identity's a mystery;
We're a case that we're cracking.


I wonder why,
I wonder why I did the things I did
And said the things I said

That made you sick
And made you cry.
I wonder why,

why wonder I became the man I did
Kept some friends close to me
And told some other friends goodbye. (x2)

Verse 3 (Adam Dragon)
This isn't a song;
It's a call for reflection.
I look into myself,

Straight at the self I'm dissecting.
I ask is my life heading
In the proper direction?
Or am I trying to fool myself
With bold misdirection?

I wonder 'bout the things that shaped me,
Made me who I am
All the choices that I made
That brought me to this land...
I'm not the one I thought I'd be

This isn't what I planned,
But when I look upon this life,
Can't help but find it grand.

I wonder why,

I wonder why I did the things I did
And said the things I said
That made you sick
And made you cry.
I wonder why,
why wonder I became the man I did

Kept some friends close to me
And told some other friends goodbye. (x2)
