The Reason Why (Tudo Muda)

(Steve Slagle/Judy Niemack)

Take a seed and plant it in the soil,

It grows into a flower, the petals fall gently to the ground.

The wind begins to blow, and petals fly away, the seed remains.

Life begins again, but there’s just one thing I want to know:

Why you had to go?

You and I were two who wanted to be one,

Desires and dreams in unison,

I remember once you said that love, unlike the body never dies,

still I cry sometimes, ‘cause there’s just one thing I want to know:

Why you had to go?

Ask the priest, the moon, the answers still the same,

It’s just the mystery of God’s game.
