Why

Why, little one, does one so little spend so much time on this

For it seems a shame to see one such as thee always cry

Like a child in need of its mother's kiss

Why not brush it off and rejoice

There's such a world of wonder past those hills of despair

It seems more prudent to make your own way, to cement your choice

For when you do, you'll finally breathe free and enjoy a kinder air

Why cement one's legacy into the throes of such torment long since past

When just a little digging will show you a world you've not known

For the sins of then were not meant to everlast

There's still a world out there waiting for you; you've just not been shown

Why not embrace the sweet and unyielding release of forgiving

And then you might feel the sun upon your still unseasoned face

Get on with the business that you've neglected, the business of living

And release all that evil from within your beating place

Why

It may not be easy to let it all go

But why spend another minute thinking of that which makes you cry

For it is time that goes by, but never slow

Why give those who did wrong the rest of you

And rob yourself of what you haven't seen

You know what you have to do

Make your world new and clean
