Why does this thing look like that
Why do they always go out like that
Why can't this be the way it always feels
Why do we tell ourselves what is real
Why do stars shine until it's light
Why is the sky upside down in the sea
Why do cats and dogs always fight
Why does an unlocked door need a key
Great big wave of sound crashing down to the ground
You whisper on the breeze
Why get down on your knees
You say it's not in the cards
I don't believe in those cards
Keep climbing into the sky
Still lost in dreams of why
Why does the moon hang so low tonight
Why does it rain on your parade day by day
Why do birds sing
Why do parrots talk
Why can you feel it coming back around to stay
Great big wave of sound crashing down to the ground
You whisper on the breeze
Why get down on your knees
You say it's not in the cards
I don't believe in those cards
Keep climbing into the sky
Still lost in dreams of why
Why are you divided
Lost in a blur
Why do you whisper in the night just to stir
Why does this twisting stairway stretch into the sky
Why does this song ask you why
Great big wave of sound crashing down to the ground
You whisper on the breeze
Why get down on your knees
You say it's not in the cards
I don't believe in those cards
Keep climbing into the sky
Still lost in dreams of why
