Why Must ?
Why Must ?
Why, when you're made the fool,
Must we also wear the jester's clothes ?
Why, when you break down and cry,
Must we also dry our eyes ?
Why, when you think you're gonna die,
Must we also find a burial plot ?
Why, when calamity's out to get you,
Must we also hide away in fear ?
Why must we carry this burden you bare,
Why must you scorn all those who care,
Why must we
Why must we
Why must we
ENOUGH !!!
The time has come to remove the jester's clothes....
The time has come to cease crying those tears....
The time has come to face up to it and live....
The time has come to cease cowering in fear....
These circumstances
I'm sorry they must exist,
There are other ways
For you to handle all this;
Don't you see
What it is you're doing wrong,
Can't you see
This life won't keep you very long;
I understand
When you say it's so damn hard,
Here's a question
You must never again disregard:
Why must you walk that tightrope
When the fall is so damn high....
Why must you walk that tightrope
When the fall is so damn high ?
