Sometimes I am overflowing with emotion
that I am unable to identify
So all I want to do is cry
But why?
If someone saw the river as I let it out of my eye
and they ask me 'why,'  I wouldn't be able to reply
I would be at a loss for words because I too don't now
"why?" would then become such a complex question
a math problem that I do not possess the formula to.

There has to be a reason.
Water boils because there's fire underneath,
But I do not know who lit it.
All I know is that the water is boiling.
All I know is that I want to cry,
But I dare not for I do not have an answer to "why?"
