Why Must We

How does it start
Why does it end

It's who we are
We can't pretend

Up in the sky
Down to the sea
I don't know why
Why must we be

Why must we be strong
Why don't we all get along
Why must we win
Why do so many have to sin

Why must we love
Why must we hate
Why do we dream above
Why must we believe in fate

Up in the clouds
Down to the fields
I don't know why
Why must we feel

Why must we work
Why must we sail along
Why are some jerks
Why must some sing a song

Why must we love
Why must we hate
Why do we dream above
Why must we believe in fate

Why must we believe in fate

How does it start
Why does it end
It's who we are
We can't pretend
