What For - Aija Andrejeva

I’ve asked my angels, why?

But they don’t know

What for do mothers cry

And rivers flow?

Why are the skies so blue

And mountains high?

What for is your love always passing by?

I’ve asked my uncle Joe

But he can’t speak

Why does the wind still blow?

And blood still leaks?

So many questions now

With no reply

What for do people live until they die?

What for are we living?

What for are we crying?

What for are we dying?

Only Mr. God knows why

What for are we living?

What for are we dreaming?

What for are we loosing?

Only Mr. God knows why

(But) His phone today is out of range

The sun in colour black

Is rising high

The time is turning back

I wonder why

So many questions now

With no reply

What for do people live until they die?
