When flowers droop and melt way down,
and every one on earth must frown.
When buildings burn and bridges fall,
and everything that’s evil calls.

When all your best and truest friends
go and turn their backs.
And all the people in the world,
that’s where courage lacks.

When every single flower,
as if acid hit, must melt.
When all the pain and suffering
of this world is felt.

When all this happens then I’ll stop
and look up at the sky.
As all the mayhem runs amok,
I’ll ask the question “Why?”
