lyrics

This is a story, of a, girl who had questions
I cannot count them all
Some about her troubles, and some about just nothing
And some never spoken at all
I could not count them all

How can the sun shine, when it’s rainin’ down thunder
That’s what she said to me
Where will we be … this time tomorrow?
And what’s at the top of those trees?

Hey, look up there’s a light in the window,
Look up there’s a star in the sky
Whenever I trip on my troubles
I make a question and just ask why … x 2

This is a puzzle, with so many pieces
We cannot find them all
Sorted by colors, shapes and the places
But no answers come to call x 2

Look up there’s a blue sky above us
Look over across the way
I can’t see into the future
(but ) I see your face and I’m okay … x 2
Instrumental Chorus: Whooo hoo hooo

So here we are, it’s this time tomorrow
The future runs faster than slow x 2
You gotta find out what you don’t know

If you never ever ask any questions
If you never ever wonder why
You’ll never ever find out the answers
So go on (now) and give it a try

…… yeah, go on, and just ask WHY?
