Why Keep On Trying?

Why do birds sing As darkness covers the sky? Pulling shadows over land And making life pass right by. Why do fish swim Against the current, upstream? When it's so much easier To just obey the seam. Why do plants grow Even after being cut? Refusing to stay In the miserable rut.
