Rose Moore - Why/E Si Do Maya E Si Lyrics

They shine above us with the stars
Some are near and some are far
They call to us for clarity
Some will know and then some will see
Their voices echo through the sky
Some will laugh and some will cry
They tear and rend so easily
Some will stay and then some will flee

E si do may, e si wakan wey
E si do may, e si wakan wey
E si wakan wey.

We'll ask again and once again
How could this have ever been
We'll know the reason by and by
Some will still be asking why
They sleep a slumber deep and wide
Some will go and some will hide
Their hour is over, it is done
It is ours that's just begun.

E si do may, e si wakan wey
E si do may, e si wakan wey
E si wakan wey.

E si do may, e si wakan wey
E si do may, e si wakan wey
E si wakan wey.
