Can you tell me why the stars in the sky have to be so high?
Or why people can die from just a simple drive by shooting up the block?
Thinking to myself that the time and days seem to go so fast
Checking the calendar and time as I glance at my clock.
Can you tell me why it is when people are hurt in and out they cry?
Or why the truth seems so hard to tell?
Seems like it doesn't exist because all the world lives to lie.
Just take a second and ponder to yourself about the way your life has panned out.
That lovers and friends come and go without a second thought. No doubt.
Can you tell me why the funny science guy on television has to be named Bill Nye?
Or why your emotions run so deep in your heart tears fall from the corner of you eye?
Is life only a science project waiting for results after many trials and errors?
If so I think we'll be here forever and a day, as for the bad news at least I'm not the barer.
Can you tell me why certain things come about that causes one to sigh?
Or why during a meet and greet, comes "hello," there shortly after a "goodbye"?
Nobody goes person to person telling them how to live their life;
some are introverts while others are not.
Whether you wear your feelings on your sleeve that's for you to decide.
Can you tell me why in this thing called live, we're born, we live, then die?
Or why Dorothy once said "lions and tigers and bears, oh my!"
We all have the choice to make our lives better for our own good.
Starting with a picnic at the park in very own neighborhood.
I'll bring the sandwiches and you bring the pie!
