Why
I asked
The gentle rain
Cry
It said
And I cried
Like the rain
Howl
The wind said when I asked
Gave an answer void and vast
Look
The moon said
And I looked
Brook
The sky said
And I brooked
Move
The sea said
Shine
The star
Hush
The wood said
From afar
Sway
Said grass and
Grow
Said tree
Change
Said cloud
A white so free
Live
The day said when I asked
Be
Replied the night at last
Why
I asked
They answered how
So I'm not much wiser now
I knew what to do before
I was looking for the lore
Seems they do not know as well
And like rain my teardrops fell
Why
I asked
You answered soft
Die
We will
And rise aloft
Use your time on precious earth
Make the rain and teardrops worth
Why, oh why, oh why! I cry
Please, I only want to know!
Tell me why before I die
Speak! So soon I am to go
Nothing ever answered me
Ignorant I was to die
Untaught I will always be
Why, oh why, oh why, oh why
