Why do we bring
On the pain
That seems to sing
Inside our veins
Pouring out verses
That don’t ever rhyme
Casting the curses
That stand the test of time?

And why do we create
Everlasting love
Just to bring on hate
When push comes to shove?

Why do we build
A union so strong
That shatters the shield
With it’s own type of wrong?

And why do we believe
In holding on
To memories that breath
And the nights that will never come?

Why do we challenge
Our will to sorrow
To chase the talon
That takes us to tomorrow?

And why do we hope
That life will get better
When at the end of the rope
A balloon forecasts the weather?

Because the unions we build
Need something to hold
When the pain of our will
Wont ever grow old
And when we sing
About a hatred we love
The memories we fein
Shield the weather above…
