Happiness is like a place And we're always trying to reach there The moon is caressing my skin Boy, I am fundamentally sad Why do we suffer so? Why do we weep so much? Why am I this sad? Is it the end of hope? Loneliness is like a ghost And its frost makes us sick The moonlight shines through the night But my grief's skin is thick Maybe we're facing up a war And it's a war within And only you can make it stop Only you and me Why do we suffer so? Why do we weep so much? Why am I this sad? Is it the end of hope? Suffer as you must For the young shoots to break through the fragrant earth And shoot up straight Weep as you will Until the day that you behold the great Sun Beyond the rainy season Worry as you must For until the dark passes You cannot behold the breaking of the dawn Try as you will Until the losses have a different meaning You'll be the one for yourself Why do we suffer so? Why do we weep so much? Why am I this sad? Is it the end of hope? Why do we suffer so? Why do we weep so much? Why am I this sad? Is it the end of hope?
