Why Deny the Surprise?
Why do you sit there?
Watching life pass you by
Why do I see tears?
In your brilliant eyes.
Why can't you see the bird?
Flying right behind you
Why can't you hear?
Its song, it is sung for you.
Why don't you know?
That nature sees you and watches you
Why don't you know?
It wishes to be seen and watched by you.
Why are you feeling alone?
Like no one cares about your story?
Why do you think you are alone?
Then wonder why you are so weary.
Why can't you see the walls?
You have built, sending your life into mayhem
Why can't you smell the flowers
In the blooming trees right behind them.
Why do you stare at the ground?
Your thoughts buried deep underneath
Why don't you lift your head up?
And dare look what your eyes would meet.
Why don't you try?
Just once, open your mind
Let yourself go and fly
Why deny the surprise?
