Why

(Verse 1) "Why?" whispers the soul, threading through my spirit, A query vast, leaving little peace within it. Compelled to seek, to find the truths unseen, I ask for clarity, where mysteries convene. (Chorus) Why toil in vain where no fruits are borne? Why sow in barren fields, and feel forlorn? Why chase a love just beyond my grasp, And learn from loss, as each breath I gasp? (Verse 2) Why must the young, in innocence, bear pain, Facing life's gloom, youthful dreams slain? Why is this life, so full of endless strife, Demanding strength, even when despair is rife? (Chorus) Why do acts of kindness seem to disappear, In a sea of malice, pain, and fear? Why have my tears dried, leaving me alone, In a silent desert, far from peace once known? (Bridge) Why do I cry out, with a plea so deep, To a heaven that seems to be asleep? Divine silence meets my fervent cries, A cosmos that seems to shut its eyes. (Verse 3) "Why?" the echo that haunts my days and nights, A relentless quest that my soul ignites. Yet in this search, through shadowed, darkened rows, A glimmer of wisdom, quietly, slowly grows. (Outro) Though answers rare, and the journey long, In asking "Why?" my spirit grows strong. In depths of shadow, where light seldom shows, There lies the wisdom that the seeker knows.
