Why? from Persian Pop by Lily Amis

“Why (چرا)” is a powerful and thought-provoking Persian pop ballad by Lily Amis, inspired by the realities of injustice, displacement, and inequality. Blending English and Persian lyrics, the song contrasts everyday comforts - a warm bed, a safe shower, a tasty breakfast - with the painful truth of millions who live without safety, home, or hope. With haunting honesty, “Why” questions global leadership, calls out tasteless indifference, and amplifies the voices of the voiceless. It is more than a song - it is a wake-up call, a plea for humanity, and a reflection of compassion in dark times.

Lyrics

Another day, another morning, another breakfast
Had a sleepless night with a troubled mind
Woke up wondering why? Why? Why? Why?
While I’m sleeping in my comfy bed
Millions are suffering in silence with no rest

I take a shower and think about those
who don’t know what safety means
I feel bad, so ashamed for not being able
to end inhumanity and change this tasteless reality

Tell me! Tell me how?
بگو! بگو، بهم بگو چجوری
Tell me how can I have a goodnight sleep
when people are sleeping on freezing streets?
How can I take a hot shower when refugees are drowning in cold seas?
How can I enjoy my breakfast when innocent humans are suffering and starving?

I remember the days when I was young and clueless
Excited and joyful about life and future
But something has changed recently
I don’t recognize myself anymore
Nothing tastes like it did before

Whatever I chose to eat, it will be tasteless
a tasteless breakfast
because I’m wondering why? Why? Why?
چرا؟
آخه چرا؟

Tell me! Tell me how?
بگو! بگو، بهم بگو چجوری
Tell me how can I have a goodnight sleep
when people are sleeping on freezing streets?
How can I take a hot shower when refugees are drowning in cold seas?
How can I enjoy my breakfast when innocent humans are suffering and starving?

Global leaders hope you had a goodnight sleep
Enjoy your tasty breakfast while the world
is suffering under your tasteless leadership!

Days and months go by and I’m still wondering why?
چرا؟
چرا؟
