John Hamilton Poet Lyric

Why Are We Here

Why are we here?

Why is the sky blue?
Why is the sun
sometimes red?
Why are we here?
Answers can be found
by looking around
and by looking
up above us.
Some are looking
for the answers
others are just
plain oblivious
to what goes on
in the world 
around us
and to the reason
of why we are here
Those who choose
not to believe
there is a purpose
in living.
Never will find
the true happiness
that comes from
our giving.
Living our life
in harmony with
our Makers purpose
is what brings us true
contentment and joy.
