     I want to know 
     Why it all is 
     Everything 
     A whim of His? 

     I want to know 
     The reason why 
     Humans roam 
     And birds do fly 

     I want to know 
     The reason of 
     The birds and bees 
     The trees and doves 

     I want to know 
     Why 2 and 2 are 4 
     Why the sun rises in the west 
     Why we do have doors 

     "2 and 2 are always 4 
     And life continues on 
     The sun will rise each day 
     From the west at the crack of dawn" 

     But why is life like that 
     What�s the reason now 
     There has to be more than that 
     Than a simple "That�s how" 

     "Who knows who life is like it is 
     I�m not arguing 
     Accept it all and leave alone 
     And enjoy the simple things" 

     But I want to know the reason 
     Behind the plants and trees 
     I want to know why they are tall 
     And why some have different leaves 

     "I can�t explain 
     It always has 
     From the start 
     Like moms and dads" 

     Don�t give me that 
     I want some proof 
     Of God or science 
     Or men, aloof 

     I want the reason 
     Of the world 
     Why does it spin 
     Why there are pearls 

     I want the reason 
     Behind the pain 
     Of suffering 
     And of the rain 

     I want the reason 
     I want to know 
     Why are things are 
     What makes the wind blow 

     "Patience, student 
     One day you�ll understand 
     That there is no true reason 
     Just the power of God�s hand"
