Why does a hummingbird hum,
        And a butterfly fly?
Why do they only come
        When flowers are nearby?
        And why do flowers die?

And why does a river flow
        Into the distant sea?
Is that where people go
        When nature sets them free?
        Will you go there with me?

Our only happy sun
        Goes away at night.
But what if there were none
        To make the daytime bright?
        Where would we find light?

The sun must cast a ray
        To make new flowers grow.
Forever and today,
        The water’s constant flow
        Is all there is to know.

And as for you and I,
        Our love is always new.
Whatever the reason why,
        That’s why I love you,
        And why the butterfly flew.
