Why are we here my friend
Is it to understand the bend
Of life's mysterious end
Or just to simply pretend
What's the meaning we seek
In every day and week
Is it wisdom that we speak
Or just answers that we tweak
Are we here to find the light
Or just to make it through the night
Is it love that we hold tight
Or just shadows in our sight
Questions fill the open air
Why and when and where
Do we know why we care
Or just wonder in despair
Are we here to find the light
Or just to make it through the night
Is it love that we hold tight
Or just shadows in our sight
Maybe it's to play our part
With an open giving heart
Find the end where we start
A never-ending work of art
