Lyrics

Why plant a seed deep in the ground? Why why why? Why put a stone on a grave in town? Why why why? Tell me, tell me, tell me Tell me why it's so Tell me, tell me, tell me Tell me, so I'll know Why does a wedding ring have the hardest stone? Why why why? Why does a little dog bury its bone? Why why why? So the river will not drown it And the highway won't take it And the dust will not cover it And the sun will not blind it And the wind won't blow it away Why put a songbird in a cage? Why why why? Why write 'I love you' on every page? Why why why? Tell me, tell me, tell me Tell me why it's so Tell me, tell me, tell me Tell me, so I'll know Why does a bird build its nest so high? Why why why? Why hold a baby when the baby cries? Why why why? So the river will not drown it So the highway won't take it And the dust will not cover it And the sun will not blind it And the wind won't blow it away So the river will not drown it So the highway won't take it And the dust will not cover it And the sun will not blind it And the wind won't blow it away
