Why does a river flow into the ocean
What makes a mountain climb up to the sky
And why should a flower grace us with it's beauty
Then wither away and die
Why do we fight for this
To crack and break and bruise

There's no alternative
Now, tell me why you live
Our blood, our sweat, our tears
Are all we have to give

Why does an asteroid smash into a planet
To what end is a planet engulfed by it's Sun
And why must we all some day
Fade from the earth back to dust
Why do we fight for this
There's a reason that we do
And it's as simple as these riddles posed to you
There's no alternative
This is why we live
Our blood, our sweat, our tears
Are all we have to give
