I don’t understand

Why are you smiling,

When the world around

us is dying.

I don’t understand

Why are you smiling,

When there is nothing else,

Always just crying.

I don’t understand

Why are you smiling,

When in our wings

There’s no more flying.

I don’t understand

Why are you smiling,

When long time ago

you gave up on trying.

I don’t understand

Why are you smiling,

Please leave me alone

…just for a while.
