John Denver - Wherefore and Why [Live]

Woke up this mornin'

Something inside of me

Told me this would be my day

I heard the mornin' train

I felt the wind change

Too many times I'm on my way

Hello, sunshine

What can you show me?

Where can you take me

To make me understand?

The wind can shake me

Brothers forsake me

The rain can touch me

But can I touch the rain?

Then I saw the sun rise

Up in a cotton sky

Like a candy cane delight

I saw the milkman

I saw the business man

I saw the only road in sight

Then I got to thinkin'

What makes you want to go

To find the wherefore and the why?

So many times now

Oh, Lord, I can't remember

If it's September or July

Come on, sunshine

What can you show me?

Where can you take me

To make me understand?

The wind can shake me

Brothers forsake me

The rain can touch me

But can I touch the rain?

All at once it came to me

I saw the wherefore

And you can see it if you try

It's in the sun above

It's in the one you love

You'll never know the reason why

Come on, sunshine

What can you show me?

Where can you take me

To make me understand?

The rain can touch me

Brothers forsake me

The rain can touch me

But can I touch the rain?

So much to lose

So much to gain
