Care to know why or care to know how
of why the life i trek and how the breathe i take
are not the things i wish i'd make

Dare to ask why or need to ask how
of all the purest and simplest things
and of all the glories i reap and sow
are not the things i expect to know

Want to gather your why's
want to gather your how's
my friend,here's what i'll tell
and of all the how's and why's you'll ask
it can never be told that's what it was.
