Somewhere, a candlelight, a steady hand
The needle light, they've gone too far
Their brains will fly and the families wonder why
Too young to die

Somewhere, the status signed a starvin' child
Screams in the night, a mother sweeps
Sadly, she tries as her hungry baby cries
Too young to die

Why, why does this happen?
This crazy world has common domes
Why can't we see there's an answer?
If we try, if we ask why

Fifteen, that's all their world
She cries too poor, he cries to her
They'll even know the last will blur
And the families wonder why

Too young to die
Too young to die
Too young to die
