I’ve asked my angels, why?

But they don’t know.

And rivers flow?

Why are the skies so blue and mountains high?

What for are we dying?
Adim7 D7 Gm
Only Mr. God knows why
D7
What for are we living?
Gm Cm
What for are we dreaming?
F7 Bb
What for are we losing?
Adim7 D7 Eb
Only Mr. God knows why
D Gm
But his phone today is out of range.
