Why?
Why do people change?
Why can't we stay the same?
When life begins everyone's in wonder,
nothing's in vain.
As life goes on it wears us down,
it brings on pain.
Some triumph, other fail;
they lose hope, fall into despair.
Why do things change?
Why can't they stay the same?
the world was good and just,
then greed and lust grew.
The world was new and now the pure of heart are few.
Why do heart's change?
Why can't they stay the same?
Our hearts' desire to love,
we're created to love.
But the heart is fragile and becomes weak.
hatred and jealously overpower the meek;
And slowly the heart dies, in silence, in peace,
in remorse the heart leaves us to seek, until found,
what is no longer sound.
