The Only Question

The leaves fall from the trees,
Like rain from the sky,
The flowers are all dying,
But all I can ask is,
Why?

New life is born every day,
And birds learn to fly,
Plants are sprouting up,
But all I can ask is,
Why?

Death is alive for everyone,
And everyone does cry,
Nature is dormant now,
But all I can ask is,
Why?

We live, We die,
We cherish, We lie,
But the only question upon my lips is,
Why?
