¿Por Qué, Por Qué?

Why, why
Is the sky so blue during the day?
Why, why
Does the Moon rise and never fall?

Why, why
Does my shadow grow from my feet?
Why, why
Can a baby fit in a belly?

Why do Sundays always end?
Why do the stars shine so bright?
Why, if it came from nothing,
Did the universe become so vast?

Why does laughter spread so easily?
Why do you cry some nights while I sleep?
Why do I grow every single day
But still can’t reach the sky?

I want to know why
I want to know why

I want to know, I want to know why
I want to know, I want to know why

Why, why
Are the colors infinite?
Why, why
Is every person so different?

Why, why
Do you leave early and come back late?
Why, why
Do your eyes shine when you see me?

Why do some kids have to work?
Why is work only for grown-ups?
Why is there always someone in charge?
Why does time only move forward?

Why is life moving so slow?
Why do the best dreams last so little?
Why, when I look further out,
Does the list of what I don’t understand grow longer?

I want to know why
I want to know why

I want to know, I want to know why
