Why does the sun keep on shining?
Questioning the persistence of sunlight despite personal emotional turmoil.
Why does the sea rush to shore?
Raising a similar question about the constant movement of the sea to the shore.
Don't they know it's the end of the world

Why do the birds go on singing?

I wake up in the morning and I wonder
Expressing morning contemplation about the persistence of the familiar despite personal turmoil.
Why everything's the same as it was

Why does my heart keep on beating?

Why do these eyes of mine cry?
